newbie (to asr) with annoying questions (and saying "hi")

Those loudspeakers you mention above, while having very good drivers are by far not the world best compared with the agreed standards here as their directivity engineering is limited. Just an example look what happens at 30° off-axis at the Amton (not to talk about the vertical angles which are not shown in any of H&H or K+T designs):

By the way Amton is not engineered by the magazine Klang+Ton but the Lautsprechershop.

Hi,

Your link to the Binaural Comparison is more than awesome!!!

Cool stuff to really learning something!

I thougt I have overflew a large Review of the AmTon in Klang & Ton at the Papershop of our train station…… one Magazine (Hobby HiFi) is kind of enough for me. So I thought Klang & Ton developed the AmTon.

Here is the reason why I am in deep deep love with the HobbyHifi Audimax Reference Standard:

There is nearly no difference in the on -Axis and the 30 degree horizontal off Axis Plot! Perfect omnidirectional Sound Distribution shown by the MLSSA Plot.

I think more focus and smaller sound distribution on vertical Axis is very o.k. Less reflections from the ceiling!

If the green pattern from your AmTon plot is 30 degree it is also nearly perfection!

Otherwise: As I say - I would prefer the Hobby HiFi Audimax Reference Standard from Bernd Timmermanns.

Just a 30° measurement is not enought though and even this one shows some issues.

I agree that a narrower vertical radiation can be advantage in typical underdamped hifi rooms and too high listening listening distances but still the vertical directivity should be smooth which is usually not the case at such pseudo-D'appolito configurations.

No, it is red one which shows some widening after 5 kHz.

About the rest you got a PM.
