This was my experience the first time I heard them! But from reading your post, you get it. The low end issue is also common, it will get better for you with time as its a steady 12db rolloff from useable limit-so its predictable.
Try one more thing important with 20asl : off axis response (ie. such as more than one person in the room or at the console). This can affect things in a big way. ATC thinks that the reflections/bounces (off axis response) need to be as close to on axis response as possible. If off axis is different than on axis, then your bounces/reflections are different and can really affect if it sounds good in this room but not that one, in this spot but not that one, etc. Another way to say that is, Decisions made in this spot in this room are good but decisions made in that spot in this room are not good, etc etc. Its more than just top end off axis, its also about midrange off axis.
This is not brought up as a negative about another speaker as in some situations the off axis issue is not crucial (such as when a mix engineer works completely solo at low levels in a dead room). But it many instances it explains why things work they way they do. The off axis issue is often not understood or apparent to all but is one of the key points in making ATC what it is to those that do notice it.
