Hello Ian
Wait a minute!
"JBL tech note posted by Rob. As can be clearly read the audience of that tech note are pro mixing engineers in broadcast environments. Are you monitoring at home with Sonar Works in a bedroom covered in acoustic treatments? I rest my case."
You rest your case and reference reviews from Home & Studio Recording, August 1986.
Who's their target audience??
They compare the 4225 vs the Urie 809
Just like my Techsheet
"Monitors with Compression Drivers:
The UREI 809A and JBL 4425 represent a scaling down of the superlative performance offered by the large format monitors, and they are intended largely for smaller control rooms and so-called "semi-pro" applications where the larger models cannot be accommodated. Their design characteristics are listed below:
* Flat axial response extending to 18 kHz, with optimum low-frequency performance in a wall-mounted position.
* Smooth power response.
* Smooth phase (time domain) response.
* Accurate stereo imaging.
* System ruggedness at high frequencies, due to use of a compression driver.

And yet the Techsheet is not appropriate???
You are a piece of work!!! LOL
