Physics dictates that the Xover design and speaker spacing would give this speaker horrible horizontal performance. Amir's testing proves that.
As can be seen in other posts it has VERY high crossover points for a 2.5 way. Combine that with the large spacing and you get the horrible issues with horizontal dispersion that show up.
In the rare use case that there is ONE seat in your HT set up, this speaker is OK, as soon as you increase that to 2 or 3 spots this speaker becomes garbage, or to say, it has very very bad performance.
Is a Dragster a garbage car? for the use case of daily driving it is. with design and measurements this bad what's the point of listening? None.
From the review
"Knowledge of speaker design, i.e. MTM configuration, and measurements prompted me to test off-axis response. Wow, was this a dramatic change. Despite sitting some 8 to 9 feet away (3 meters), just moving one seating position would cause a massive suck out in response. You would hear bass and treble but the middle would fall out causing a somewhat hollow sound. Close approximation of it is if you listened to your speakers from behind them. Here, it is not as bad as you hear the tweeter for upper treble but not lower."
A speaker that looks somewhat cool and sounds good in one listener position.
