Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: Many unanswered questions.

What was the methodology for the measurements, it anaechoice or inroom, it is on-axis (which I think it is), and what was the position of the mic in respect of the speaker, midway, tweeter axis, woofer axis. without this questions answered, it is hard to give robust criticism.

Firstly, that curve shows a classic loudness curve compensation, as a result I think that overall response i.e. a broad dip in the upper midrange is exactly what the designer was aiming for, It has nothing to do with poor integration whatsover.

The reviewers comments correlate to the measurements to some extent, the bigger soundstage is due to broad dip in the upper range, and reading between the lines it will seem that the in the dispersion plots that the tweeter does in fact fill in to the sides. Other meassurements are necessary to get a complete picture. That said, for a speaker that is bound for life in 'minimalist' audiophile setup with no form of equalisation whatsover except the tube amplifier (in some cases), the FR is 'tuned' for the job.
