He determined that at the concert hall, 89% of what was heard was reflected and only 11% was direct. So that's how the speaker radiates.
Which ignores the fact that good recordings capture ambience in the process along with your room providing some. Now you get "reflected squared" where instruments get smeared across the entire back wall in gigantic form. Perhaps fun for some, but never real to these ears.
I do, however, like the full range design even if they don't exactly offer an "airy" top end using massively equalized midrange drivers (20 db at the bottom and 20-30 db at the top!)
