Thank you @amirm
As much we may understand Eric’s point of view that a minor cabinet leak can, and will change the port turning, and measuring on a different axis will affect the measurement, I feel that the owner’s reaction was unnecessary.
The approach to critical feedback can be managed in...
Not bad, not bad. @jackocleebrown
Now people will finally understand why there's reason a bookshelf speaker sounds better than your bluetooth speaker the size of a carton of milk, and what the floorstander with multiple larger woofers offers. You, me, @amirm , @Sean Olive know that we can't...

The manufacturers move where market goes.
I recall a video or talk where Sean Olive commented that the home audio business is about 10% of Harman’s business. Some astute readers may be able to give a link; when I recall or find it, I will reference it.
A large part of Harman is business to...
Samsung already has one.
US$999 IIRC complete with wireless rear speakers AND subwoofer.
The TOTL model is the 11.1.4 Atmos equipped HW-Q990C, released in 2023.
@Kal Rubinson
Are you able to get early access to the Q990D of 2024, for a review for Stereophile?
Yes it’s a shame that’s the case. Neither this or the Era 300 can be connected directly to a TV or HT system. You need a Sonos soundbar for that…

Also interesting how the raggedy response, perhaps NOT due to resonances, but interference between multiple drivers doesn’t...
I keep getting private messages about my reference system. Unfortunately the drivers are now difficult to source worldwide, since they are over 10 years old and difficult to purchase in single units.
Apart from the jagged dip at 5KHz due to diffraction of the baffle with the tweeter, I'm quite...
They were one of the first drivers manufacturers to combine ultra long throw eg. >1" excursion by BL 70% critera with low inductance motors.
Here's the frequency response of the my LMS-R 15" in a 2 cu foot box.
Here's the harmonic "structure" thanks to the low Le(x) motor:
You could use it...
@bigjacko
The tweeter is the SB19ST-C000-4
Yes you are right- the dip is diffraction related; the clue is that there is an on-axis dip, but it doesn't exist in the off axis.
As you probably know, if I were to correct for it, and completely flatten the on axis, then I'd get peaking in that 5-7...
