As per my other thread I have recently bought R7 Meta and R6 Meta speakers.
They are in two corners of an almost perfectly equilateral triangle with the last angle being the MLP. I currently have angled the R7s 15° toward the MLP, which still is significantly off axis. The R6 sits on a cabinet in front of the TV, below it, and is angled toward the MLP with an Aperta 300 isolation stand.
They are connected to a Denon X3800H, although the R7s are now driven by an Audiophonics MPA-S250NC XLR. I use Dirac DLBC, with three subwoofers (2 SVS SB1000 and 1 SB2000).
The question is this: I've used a slightly modified Harman curve in Dirac (I tame down sub 30Hz frequencies, in order to avoid resonances with the walls... since I've gotten the third sub they're better but I still live in an apartment, with people living below me). This is the curve I use. I use it for all speakers, according to Dirac recommendations.
The question is this: is there an effect derived from the directivity of coaxial drivers (the reason why it's suggested to have them off axis) that is not measured by a frequency response measurement in REW? Or if I tame the highs through Dirac I get more or less the same effect as I would get by moving them more off axis? I ask because currently they still feel a little bit too bright for my taste (nothing major, just want to get as close to perfection as I can).
Same question holds true for the R6 central speaker, which I currently point straight at the MLP (but I could point it lower through the stand's adjustments... it's currently as high as it can go and that makes it point precisely where my head is when sitting).
I hope the question is clear. First time with coaxial drivers I need to find my way with them.
(Most of all, I hope I'm using the directivity words correctly... but I could have totally misunderstood it so far. In that case, sorry in advance for my ignorance)
