A measurement artefact then?

No, we have not invented time machine. Right interpretation is that 1.5 kHz envelope is earlier in time than the high frequencies. Graph shows variation of the delay. Bulk delay is not included. Bulk delay varies between 3.1 ms to 4.1 ms depending on selected input type. Analog and digital AES/EBU 48 / 96 / 192 kHz sampling frequency give all slightly different delay.

D&D 8c has unique directivity in midrange because of it's cardioid radiation pattern. It will most likely sound very much different from any Genelec.

However Genelec has lately released a new tower double subwoofer https://www.genelec.com/w371a , that is also capable of cardioid resonse in upper bass. Paired to a matching monitor with GLM+SAM could make it sound much the same as D&D, but with much higher spl capacity.

This cost so much more than 8C.

It also does a lot more than 8C.

Hi,

To be accurate, there is no practical difference in midrange between them because of natural directivity of such sized radiator and baffle above 300 - 400 Hz. The difference shows up only below that, but then again that is where the W371 comes into play with its cardioid response down to about 50 Hz, an octave lower than the said competitor loudspeaker. On top of that it offers unique features such as automated GLM in-room calibration, user-selectable operation modes for optimizing the directivity pattern and complementary mode for reducing the effect of room modes via highly sophisticated DSP control of the three radiators (main monitor woofer(s) and two woofers on the W371).
