In Reply to: Convince her to use dipole woofers. posted by Al Sekela on September 17, 2008 at 13:09:42:
The measured frequency response of a dipole bass speaker will be a little smoother,because they are somewhat directional,
and that means to reduced excitation of some standing waves (between the side walls and between the floor and ceiling),
but not that much different,
assuming you want to obtain the same average SPL measured at the listening seat.
The "room pressurization" from dipoles does not differ significantly from monopoles inside an ordinary home listening room.
There might be a difference inside a sealed car where the monopole speaker would get a boost from cabin gain, and the dipole would not,
but there's little or no cabin gain inside a typical home listening room (too big and rarely sealed well enough to be pressurized by a few relatively small speaker cones).
