Here are some measurements of the Dali Zensor 1/AX.
The amplifier is located in the left speaker, and the right one is passive.
Equipment/settings used:
REW v5.30.5 (mac)
Calibrated UMIK-2
Active speaker connected to my Windows PC (Toslink, 24-bit, 48 kHz).
I started by measuring the right speaker, as I assumed it would perform close to the ordinary passive version of Dali Zensor 1.
This is the quasi-anechoic response:
Measurement without bass correction (to match Stereophile):
The response is very similar to the measurements by Stereophile up to 7 kHz, but for some reason it differs above that.
I re-measured the right speaker and got the same results, so I decided to measure the left/active one instead:
Here are some directivity measurements (using the right speaker):

Sidebar 3: Measurements I used DRA Labs' MLSSA system and a calibrated DPA 4006 microphone to measure the DALI Zensor 1's frequency response in the farfield; and an Earthworks QTC-40, with its small, ¼" capsule, for the nearfield responses. (The small capsule doesn't interfere with the airflow.)
