General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Again confused

The power response is NEVER, EVER eared by a listener!
A human being, despite quantum mechanics theory, is in practical, actual life at one point in space at a given time.
I don't even agree with the averaging of frequency response at different places. What you ear is what a measurement microphone records at one location. you can move, and then the frequency response will change, and can be measured by the same microphone at the same location. But you will never ear an 'average'.
As for the 'power response', it is theoretical (energy spread in all directions, that will NEVER reach your ears in the same amplitude versus frequency balance, 'thanks' to differential ansorption and phase changes).
Now, you could challenge this using quantum mechanics. THAT would be interesting, but I guess that we both need a higher-level physicist to help us doing that.
