Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I'd only be guessing

Without question, to use Chris Huston's wonderful term, my speaker has a "personality."

The radiation pattern in the bass is... rather Shahinian-like, in that the passives are relatively light and so they radiate sound that seems to me to go up through the midrange and is not confined to the bass (which I define as 180Hz and below).

But, in contrast with that, the AMT has broad horizontal dispersion, but the vertical window is much more narrow (or, shorter).

I think that the overall power response at a mid listening position is wonderful, but mine is not a speaker that screams "I am NEUTRAL!"

The bass is a bit "plummy," and the midrange has a touch of sweetness.

I was never trying to design a speaker that was "Flat."

My design brief from the client was to design a compact 2-way loudspeaker that would "FLATTER" well-recorded vocals.

If there ever was a direct shoot-out, I think that most listeners would prefer one or the other, and I would not be offended if anyone preferred the Joseph.
