After all this time, Tekton is finally producing actual measurements… and the feet are installed !!!

Way to go Tekton !!!

I bought used pair for a cheap cabinet and ditched the ear piercing Fostex drivers supplied by Tekton

Well #2, plenty of people prefer wider directivity to narrower, even though the on-asis response is the same. There is nothing wrong with that. And even on narrow directivity systems, there are variants of how to distribute this directivity: constant directivity will try to keep the directivity constant over frequency, vs horns/waveguides that narrow directivity with an increase of frequency. There are even horns that use both types at ones in H and V directions.

I always think "what is this mixed on"? Because the reality is stuff is mixed on domes, narrowing horns, maybe some true constant-directivity (I suspect few of those). Each studio system with it's own unique crossover problems. I remember listening to Heart's self-title 80s album with a friend-on her boombox it sounded good. On my "real" stereo, less so.

In each type of tweeter, you can have good, great, or dogsh!t implementations, and a lot of stuff looks just visually copied by someone in cheap-o factory in China I don't think you can say any class is better than another any more than saying belt-drive is [ALWAYS] better than direct drive for turntables, or amplification Class A > Class AB > Class D.

maybe "the next" harman-like target will be adaptive (somekind of tech), making even those crappy recordings sound pleasent with more neutral systems
