But now I am stuck thinking that if the DSP/LF amps curves are aimed at 19 Hz, and 19 Hz is limited to 88 dB, then an equalized output might also be limited to 88 dB before clipping and/or "unacceptable distortion" from the LF could "potentially" encroach...

Paul, the speakers are certainly not limited to 88dB at 19Hz. But the designer(s) cannot guarantee a THD of <3% at 19Hz if the level exceeds 88dB. Now whether you believe >3% THD at 19Hz is unacceptable is another thing. I strongly suspect most speakers are way past 3% THD at 19Hz. For what it's worth, the speakers themselves will play at ear-bleeding levels without any obvious sign of strain anywhere.
If you're so inclined, you can find a lot more information about the speakers here: http://www.phasure.com/index.php?board=24.0
