RE: "diffuse imaging"?? ...

The I-D has directional information from all three speaker drivers and these drivers are sitting far from each other. Remember, the basses operates all the way up to 1.1 kHz and there is just a first order roll-offabove that. The Tympani IV and IVa have far better focus. As I see it, the I-D basses are okey but need a midrange driver (like the IIIA or IIIB) to sit close to the tweeter. The Tympani push-pull tweeters are certainly not up to the ribbon drivers but are not that bad. Just wish they had thinner Mylar, thin foil conductors and a more open area in front of the diaphragm. I think a wider ribbon driver like Apogee used would be fine with the Tympani basses, crossed over at 500 Hz or so.
