I agree with you with that frequency response chart, but you are not considering proximity effect, look at the same chart (im sure you can find it) with the different responses at different distances, for OH you may not be close enough to the proximity effect (which i think is good since most of the time i roll of some bass on the OH) but for something like a kick mic'ed up close, your chart may develop a low-end tumor going beyond 0db's
