The new king of passive speakers - according to spinorama.org ranking - KEF Blade 2 Meta: preference Score without EQ 7.07 and with EQ 7.68

Understanding the correlation between measurements and sound quality is key, for many audiophiles of a ‘certain’ age loudspeaker selection is still just a lucky dip, trying one design after another.

My simplified view of visual curve interpretation is dispersion should look something like the chart for the Blade II Meta. It just happens that the LS50 (original and meta) look that way. Lots of speakers have nice smooth horizontal dispersion, but only a few do as well as the coaxial drivers in the vertical plane. I don't worry too much about minor diversions in the frequency response because they can be fixed with EQ. Maybe that's why I'm so happy with my LS50's even after 6 years. I'm in a 13'x18' room with a dormer ceiling so their limited dynamic range is enough and subs take care of the abbreviated low end.
