Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Ah, narrow directivity tweeter

"That results in a very strange pinched in the middle "fun house mirror" image."

Or the inverse of having accentuated highs and lowes in proportion to the mids. The music of the far east is well served by speakers of this sort, hence why these horn speakers sell so well there.

I had the old L300s in my ear bleeding younger daze and can attest that the off axis sound out of them is like a ragged edge. Thosrten can bring us as many graphs as he cares to. The reality is that those speakers absolutely stink in comparison to what we have available today. The Paragon, while a beautiful piece of wood, would probably greatly disappoint us all. I believe the myth is probably far greater than the actual performance that it could muster, and may be the reason it is merely on display in the lobby of 8500 Balboa Blvd.
