Somewhat counter-intuitively, a good controlled-pattern, narrow-pattern speaker set up correctly can give very consistent tonal balance throughout the room, and even into the next room, outperforming conventional speakers in that regard. Even the off-centerline soundstaging holds up better than normal. So what I'm suggesting is by no means a "sweet spot only" setup (and I'm not saying you said it was, only realizing that may be implied by my use of the term "narrow pattern").Duke
Me being a dealer makes you leery?? It gets worse... I'm a manufacturer too.
