Dynamic range is the difference between the highest output a device can generate and it's lowest. So basically, the maximum output of a speaker sets its dynamic range. If you pad a speaker you don't lose dynamic range - You set the level that is required to get it there.

As for a high pass filter to the Alpha 6, I'd probably use one. If you don't, you'll be sending bass to the midrange driver. Some large-format drivers are OK when done this way, particularly if they are used at relatively low volumes and housed in cabinets that reduce their excursion. But I don't think I'd want to send send much low frequency energy to an Alpha 6.
