I did a short article on how loudspeaker directivity affects in-room measurements, here is a brief summary:
We know loudspeakers sound different, we also know they can measure different – both in the lab, and in-room. But what if they seem to measure quite similar – and still sound very different. Is there something hidden in those measurements, that we missed?
Frequency response is quite similar:
But they sound different. And indeed. if we look deeper, we can find differences in the measurements. Comparing decay profiles reveal smoother more linear decay with controlled directivity:
