Gated, no. My measuring is pretty rudimentary. Stereophile Test CD, android tablet with Audio Tool and Dayton Audio iMM-6. I will rerun the tests, setting the reference at 1k from the CD. I will do off axis, but I don't have much width in the room. Crap if I learn what half the options do in Audio Tools, I will be light years ahead of my knowledge today.
Now, as to hauling these "puppies" outside. Ain't gonna happen. I live on a steep hillside. I go up a flight of stairs to get to the main level. I PAID my dues getting those hulking SOB's INTO the house! ;-) Now if the trophy girls will haul them out AND back in for ribs,beers and margaritas, well that may sway me!
I know that I have room issues. The room is 14" wide and 34' long with an 8' to 14' cathedral ceiling. Wood floors with area rugs are also a factor. My wife refers to the room as the living/dining room. Wants furniture within. Go figger!
The speakers are on the narrow wall, one in a corner and the other near the corner, but about 1 1/2' out due to a hearth. I get about 3-5db higher in the bass from 50 to 80Hz on the corner loaded speaker. With the 120 degree dispersion of the mid horn, early reflections are a problem, but not enough to significantly hurt stereo imaging. I am sure that I am loosing some pin point soundstaging. But the tradeoff's are well worth it! (But there is no way that the EV's image like my Gallo Nucleus Solos's positioned 8" from the rear and 3 feet from the sides!!)
I know that your suggestions are spot on! I just can't make them all happen! But don't let that deter commenting, they are greatly appreciated!!
Cheers,
Geary
