RE: incorrect assertion.

Bass in the 1st 2 octaves is totally Omni. You can't even locate it. If you think you can it's the harmonics giving you the location.

I've seen people tell the demonstrator of the Pipedreams speaker the bass module which was feet away from the main speaker that the module wasn't even working even though there was tons of deep bass. And the listener was standing right next to the bass module. The demonstrator had to take the grills off the sub so the listener could touch the driver to see it was pimping away.

Perhaps dipole bass is different since it radiates primarily front and rear only but I suspect that's apparent only near the woofers which is good in that it doesn't drive the room and standing waves as drastically. But I wouldn't be surprised that feet away in a listening seat the bass is similar to a monopole but with a bit less room resonance.

DEEP BASS is OMNI and unlocatable by the ear(without the harmonics)..
