Ket Q7 meta and Super Linton questions

[staticV3]

Thanks, I am still learning to read measurements, Is it a good one, or is it narrow?

The Super Linton's crossover has some weaknesses which lead to an uneven directivity.

As a result, your ears should be no more than ±20° vertically to the tweeter.

Also, thick rugs and ceiling absorbers can help improve the in-room response.

Is it a good one, or is it narrow?

Fairly broad dispersion and averaged over relevant bands pretty constant directivity, which is a very good thing. Much better than uneven directivity with increasingly narrowing dispersion, which easily leads to lower midrange heavy reverb and lack of ambience/treble in the room.

It is not textbook-like in terms of listening window, so I would take some time to optimize positioning and toe-in (Measurement suggest close to wall-parallel might be best). Vertical directivity shows minor signs of lobing/cancellation between midrange and tweeter, but that is to be expected with an inline arrangement and just requires midrange pointing more or less at the listener´s ear.

thick rugs and ceiling absorbers can help improve the in-room response.

That is particularly not a good advice when we are talking about speakers with increasing directivity index towards higher frequencies. Most probably this will make reverb and reflections perceived as midrange-heavy, lacking even more treble, as rugs and absorbers tend to absorb treble stronger than bass and lower midrange.

Thanks, I am deciding betwen the Q7 and the SL. I dont have a fixed listening position. I could be standing as well.
