I think you are confusing some things there, knowledgeable people don't say that equalisation above 500 Hz is necessarily poor, but that it should be based on anechoic measurements and not non-gated measurements at the listeners position (plus that the loudspeaker should have decent directivity...

Guess the problem is the "a" in the end, I use always the title search before I create a new thread: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?search/42004933/&q=8381a&c[title_only]=1&o=relevance

Sure, some approaches in that direction exist already https://www.digitaltrends.com/sony-bravia-acoustic-surface/

An interesting approach especially for small devices like mobile phones, would like to see some directivity and multitone distortion measurements though. There was also few older threads about such...

It has a warm bassy tuning but not a big presence dip: Source: https://www.wharfedale-deutschland.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Quad-Atera-Solus-Play-Wharfedale-Denton-85th-Audio-2021-08.pdf

I agree, in my experience the two biggest problems of full range drivers are a rapidly changing directivity (BMRs usually cannot go low enough) and very high multitone distortions, like Frank writes above doppler distortion is minor in comparison.

A good example of two phenomena: a) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation The difference of correlation and causality, as rather expensive loudspeakers will have such, see also https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14738551/ b)...

The smaller sibling 606 seems to measure quite treble-heavy: Source: https://www.stereo.de/hifi-test/produkt/kudos-titan-606-1501

Sure, I even have some ASR stamps here :D

Well that a recording is its own art product and has often not much to do with the original even is a truth that many audiophiles don't want to accept. ;) So do I but I know and have perceived its limitations compared to a similarly good multichannel setup.

Recordings are usually an art product of their own, where the sound engineer tries to bring as much as possible of the intended experience through the limitations of the medium. Thus the binaural cues of large performance spaces can be added even if the event was virtual.

Reading your above comment gives me doubts having heard a good one. A good multichannel audio setup is not "to place you in the middle of the band" but like Toole writes to enhance envelopment and removing the cues from the small reproduction space and replacing them with ones of the original...

So much about the Focal fanboys then... :facepalm::D

The "absolutely" referred to the price as it was a direct answer to this post of yours: As a possible misunderstanding I won't have hard feelings on this though.

That you find the reporting rather than the untrue ad hom that caused it as childish says quite a lot... I didn't talk at all on this thread about the video except even a short "While I agree with not few of the things you write", just commented and discussed with you on your designation...

Ok, I had asked you several times kindly enough to stop this untrue ad hominem, have reported it now to the moderation.

So just childish claims and accusations without facts or proofs. And as said Toole and the NRC blind tests choose in the past the Mirage with not really better polars. I let people the measurements speak for themselves and members conclude themselves what is terrible or not.

Please feel free to draw your own lines and present them here, I strongly doubt you can manage to make the deviations from the Focal look bigger than the Mirage one neither for small nor for larger angles. Once again ad hominem lying as it seems you are running out from facts. What do I have...

I would vote either for option 2 or 5 but i am not sure what their difference is? There was a very short phase though in my teenage time where I once bought a thicker loudspeaker cable (around $30) and one "better" (around $50) RCA cable because of the audiophool press propaganda although from...
