I no longer have it, Ian has it. However, he had me move it to where the left speaker was and measure it. It demonstrated the same problem: 75db on axis and 71 db 3 feet off axis. As I moved from directly in front of it to the side I could hear what I would describe as "suckouts" as the output was reduced. Neither my NHT M5 nor the Axiom M2i exhibited any such behavior. I would like someone to perform a similar test to see if they can duplicate my findings.
