Have you not seen what real speaker measurements look like? The above is so elementary it's pathetic to even compare that to what @amirm or anyone else that does proper polar plots. If Danny or any other speaker designer actually gave a crap they would test their products accordingly. Instead, these people are quick to tear apart other speakers to "make them better" when in reality they're looking at .2% of what actually makes the design which quite frankly, they're not even doing properly anyway. The issue is that customers like yourself don't learn about it and demand it so someone can be a garage speaker designer and have their cult which spreads misinformation.

Keep in mind that they are open baffle and that the graphics use a scale that allows you to see the undulations, something not very common by the sellers, what for me is a test of honesty, I think.

Amazing design flaw in these Klipsch RP-800F floorstanding speakers. Danny Richie explains very well the cause of the BIG hole and how to solve it.

[ This is the frequency response measurement of my Klipsch RP8000F speaker pair after the upgrade. These are in-room measurements at the primary listening position 16.1 ft away. The speakers are about a foot away from the front wall. And the room acoustics are acceptable but not stellar.

Not shown here but with a handful of PEQ filters applied I was able to tame the bass to match my house curve quite nicely. Very happy with with the raw in-room result. Amazing speaker performance at this price point. ]
