Re: Midrange focus

My experiments with not only this but with other speakers as well had convinced me that hf dispersion is very critical. Even though the total energy reaching my ears is relatively small, not only is its relative gain but its angles of arrival and the relative spectral content of the reflected sound compared to the direct sound is also critical. I used a 12:1 reflected to direct ratio of radiated sound to in a live room to supplement the response from the main 4" drivers which are only 8:1. I also changed the spectral balance of the front driver relative to the rear drivers since the walls have a greater tendency to absorb as frequency increases. This is intended to create a reflected sound at my ears with a flatter power transfer function and IMO is much more like the way sound is radiated and arrives from actual musical instruments. So now I have highs, and now I have lows, but is it still Bose????? :> )
