Audiovector R 3 Arreté loudspeaker

[Vacceo]

So, it's not Arreté, which doesn't seem to exist.

Such distorsion that even the name is distorted.

Still, I remember that John Atkinson expressed this issue quite a few times and asked that every publication of his (own) measurements should ideally be sourced as such.

It is decent writing ethos and there is even a quite clear statement from Amir about that:

"We also have implied permission from stereophile to hot link to their measurements as long as a link is provided to the full review (US law allows hotlinking even without this but as a professional courtesy, I like to follow their suggestion)."

I read the review as well. Shocking, just shocking, that Jim Austin appears not to have noticed this massive on-axis and off-axis suck-out in the most audible range of human hearing. Who could’ve seen that coming?

Excuse me, but you don't make the rules around here.

My post was a request and a reminder (of previous requests by JA and our host) not an admonition. I’m sorry if it came across to you as the latter.

Thank you. Next time I will honor JA's request.

So applying Dirac to this loudspeaker would kind of ruin how the designer intended it to sound?

Considering how far off flat the design is, I'm not sure what the designer intended.

Someone on the comments said that the tweeters on this €250K R11 are burnt because of the color
Does it make sense ?

My dad's Goldenears have AMTs like this, they got burned by (IIRC) a malfunctioning pre, and they looked exactly like that. And they lost a lot of output in the bargain.

Might be main lobe is designed to tilt downward (or upward) with an odd-order filter, and thus measuring on-axis with tweeter isn't the way to go
