Tim,
I respect the work of John Dunlavy. But I also respect the work of people like Greg Timbers, Laurie Fincham, Peter Walker, and Lawrence Dickie - to name a few. All are or were great designers in the loudspeaker business and none of them have endorsed the use of spherically shaped loudspeakers. In fact, Mr. Walker proved with his novel approach that you could emulate much that is good about a point source without actually trying to build one. If that isn't a clear statement on spherically shaped loudspeakers, I don't know what else could be. Like so many in audiophilia, you pretty much disqualified yourself with an extreme, ridiculous suggestion that subwoofers suffer from diffraction effects when sharp edged baffles are used. And with that, I see no point in further discussion - much like at DIY Audio, where I felt no need to go any further when people like Dennis Murphy and John Kreskovsky tried to suggest that sound was being reflected back into a tube cavity loaded with a driver on one end. I've been at this too long to take instruction or lessons from total novices in acoustics or electrical engineering.
