Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: which measurements

Well, the same. Amplitude response on axis (flat ±1.5 dB), off-axis (nasties start at about 16 kHz with one narrow-band irregularity at about 2.8 kHz), step-response (almost ideal), waterfall plot (almost empty). Trick is, they use digital x-over and digital equalization.

Re: Bruel & Kjaer curve

The curve that you have shown us some time ago and which you apparently like so much is, according to their AES paper, for "recordings which are made as a combination of far-field and near-field information". For recordings under far-field conditions the curve should be "absolutely flat", since then the recording contains a mixture of direct and reflected sound.

Sure, the Pioneer measure much better than the average high-end stuff. I would like to see the vertical off-axis response.
