Wilson MAXX

I measure also a lot on loudspeakers for a hobby / commercially and indeed you need a certain distance from a loudspeaker to not measure individual units but the som of the outputs , this is especially he case with larger models like the big wilsons , stereophlle has tested/measurements on a couple of maxx es if you look at those frequency measurements you have an idea if its corresponds with what you hear .
Speakerplacement is also very important ,you can see that in the measurments too

Not surprising 2 different speakers arent both going to cut it in the same room.Just a thought,cheers,Bob

for those w/ experience, what is minimum distance one has to sit away from maxx's in order to get proper blending of drivers? (and i assume this is for the MTM module, as bass is omnidirectional, yes?)
thx

As i said before http://stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/wilson_audio_specialties_maxx_series_3_loudspeaker/index6.html

here is the measurement of the 3 , he puts the microphone on 1 measurement on the same spot as the ear would be in a certain listening room( mike fremer ), as english is not mu first language i dont know exactly when he means degrees or distance , he probaly measured the MTM and also the total output including Bass unit "in a certain room "

For my own designs the minimum distance is 2,5 meters , bass is omnidirectional yes , i dont exactly know from which exact frequency , anyway i find the bass output fairly complicated to measure correctly.

You can also ask a wilson dealer , if you find somebody with a good frequencyresponse measuring tool he could then measure exactly what you hear on the hearingspot and what changes as you move the speakers , and the measure again

And here the Maxx http://stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/324/index6.html , the puppy 7 is also tested somewhere in the archive , maybe somewhere is mentioned what the minimum listening distance will be for the Maxx , W/P series .

Good magazine stereophile , i bought my sme 20 just on mike fremers recommendation ,i 've never heard it .
