Above statement tells that you still haven't understood it, you can't change directivity by EQ. Also writing "They have different balance between direct and indirect sound" is nothing different of an euphemism of poor directivity with all the problems and disadvantages it brings.
That is not my point at all.
Amir listened to the speaker and made a well balanced assessment, good and bad, so observations from people who have listened to it, or similar from the same brand, would be nice. Maybe then readers would better understand why this product exists.
This speaker has quiet some controverse doesn't it. I feel I spent way to much time here....still have some hunger to try to figure out how and why they did what they did....
The same for me.
Rather than replying to every question with a question, it would just be nice to know if I summarised your standpoint accurately.
We both stick to our both ends, but I guess we both are entitled to our own opinion. You can’t change mine and I can’t change yours
"There is no such thing as bad publicity"
What I understand from directivity boils down to what is explained here.
WE might here, assuming we were fortunate enough to have ten or eleven grand available to spend on such a luxury small speaker, but it was confirmed to me by two separate dealers selling boxes at this price and above that the majority of buyers don't ever read forums, nor reviews especially. Nah, a lay person stumbling on this review will avoid the 'pretty picture plots' as they wouldn't understand them initially and if they could trawl the comments and defense, they'd go with the defense as these people (probably more mature couples actually) listen to general music in real rooms not specially treated audio rooms as enthusiasts.
Because as said the on-axis FR is not linear either, so the flawed on-axis response tries to compensate the flawed directivity, leading to a smooth LP FR, but such is not perceived as good/neutral sounding as from a loudspeaker which achieves it from both a smooth on-axis FR and directivity.
The poor directivity is one of its problems, anyway I have explained it already several times, if you cannot or don't want to understand it, there is nothing I can do.
Its an "old-school" approach when better solutions weren't widely available and nothing new, just the typical audiophile approach of using good/expensive materials/drivers but combine them poorly due to lack of high end R&D and engineering, but its more clever for the target market to offer many colour options and 100+ pages catalogues...
Amir liked seems to like it, even more then a textbook revel M106. But mentioned his reflective room so does Wilson.
What I get from your writing is what the textbook said, that I understand clearly.
If you increase this region, the drums would sound “louder”, in real life, percussion instruments can be louder in a band which can let people relate to a live event may be. I felt the same when I audiotioned the canton reference 7k which has a 3db peak in the midbass. Honestly I liked it a lot but I was listening only on the sweet spot so I don’t know if that speaker is any good with directivity or in a different room.
