It seems consistent that the rated sensitivity is simply taking the highest SPL across the frequency range.Sensitivity: 88.6dB (300Hz-3kHz ; spec: 93dB)

I love seeing all of these measurements for the DIY stuff, and especially appreciated the on-wall demonstration. DIYSG has been out of stock so long that I’ve started working on my own on-wall waveguide design. It gives me a lot to think about with respect to that comb filtering.
I think you're doing a great service to DIYSG and the designers too. They'll have a clear picture of what needs to be improved upon and it goes with their ethos of minimal markup and giving to enthusiasts.Glad it is helpful.
Very interesting stuff for sure to measure and look forward to it. Not sure if it makes sense or if worth the time, but on 1099 and the HTM12 it would be interesting hearing your impressions with EQ since they most likely will show good directivity. But certainly understand all this stuff takes time and that might be beyond your time you want to invest.FWIW, I've got a few more DIYSG tests coming...

In the distant future I really want a real home theater setup and these looked like good candidates. My wallet cries looking at JTR prices.
PowerSoundAudio is the next hopeful candidate that is “affordable”.
If anyone is considering buying one of their speakers (or already own them) and want them tested, I’ll contribute $50.
EDIT: Looking at PSA’s site, they have new “M” counterparts to some of their original speakers, they are lower priced but I can’t find any info on differences.
I too thought about the 1099's for HT...Please for the love of god measure well.

Are the cabinets basically the same, or is the USA one better made (thicker cabinet) and/or different finish?The only difference is the cabinet. The original cabinets are made and finished in Ohio while the "M" counterparts have cabinets made and finished in China. Drivers, crossover, wiring and internal dampening are all identical and installed in both cabinets in Ohio and tested for identical performance.

If they are basically the same, I can’t see why someone would spend a considerable amount more for the USA one, unless stock is an issue. I like seeing Made in the USA as much as the next guy, but not if it’s basically the same and the price differential is huge.
