Wow, impressive! This one I was waiting for so long! You guys rock!
I BLINDLY bought a pair of R3 and center R2C without even demo and
this review makes me happy. Before this, I did the same with the big center from the previous generation R600.
Great on-axis FR without noticeable/nasty peaks and dips, that broad increase from 3k to 10k does not bother to me as is low in amplitude and you can easily EQ it out to your taste with manual PEq or Dirac. I don't believe if you are in the pursuit of audio finesse you would simply buy a speaker, take it out of the box, place it on a stand and call it done. Your ears will listen to speaker + room interaction.
The in-room response is right on point, except for that small treble bump that you can work out with
toe-in or Eq.
Harmonic Distortion super clean, below 0,5% until 200hz.
It surprises me not much has been discussed in the Sound Power & Early Reflections DI which looks extremely good! This makes for Dirac heaven when taking into account such a smooth frequency response.
@amirm Is it possible to complete the
Advanced Speaker Measurements section with Early-Horizontal-Vertical reflection plots, SPL Horizontal & Vertical, Eye-Candy measurements?
