It's so beautiful. I can't stop looking at it. 2.5dB attenuation per decade!

I'm still looking at those damned curves. I can't believe the Directivity Index is practically zero across the entire audible range.

Hi Mojo,

Bringing the curves together like this is working in the blind listen testing too. The realism factor has gone up another notch. I am really looking forward to getting this version back down to my place.

You don't need to listen to it to know it's full of goodness. I mean, look at those curves. Compared to the passive 1100, they are far superior. I have no idea how Mattmanhasgonebutisbackdroolingandskeptical can possibly live with his passive LFRs!

Nope. No walls needed. "Just" the Axiom anechoic chamber, a turntable, signal generator, mic, and waveform recorder.

If memory serves, there are two curves posted. The red curve is the on axis curve. The blue is the average response of curves at 7.5 degree increments in both the horizontal and vertical plane, or 48 measurements in both the horizontal and vertical planes.

It is also done in the chamber to keep any effect of the sidewalls, floor and ceiling from occurring.
