RE: Stereophile John A summation of LM loudspeaker

I have no doubt that this speaker sounds far more even and correct at a distance of 3-4 meters rather than 50 inches! The in-room response is pretty good up to 8khz. That said, I think they could have worked a bit more on proper physical alignment from a time perspective. I would like to see the step response at 3-4 meters.

Now I have heard the real we 597a and it doesn't have the extension of a modern tweeter, which was fine for the material of the time. The lack of air is probably a valid comment.

The most valid measurement for this speaker, IMO, is the in-room response for a more true indicator of what to expect at least for tonal evenness but definitely not the low distortion and dynamic aliveness such a speaker brings.
