Thanks @gdnrbob.
The ASR review also noted that they we better on-axis.
And the low bass that they noted is also likely helped with them in the corners. Fortunately Amis showed a step function response there, which was as expected from a good design..
I suspect if the front edges were Radiused, then it would make them a bit easier off axis. And maybe some dynamat or something to quell any resonances inside.
I might rebook at these for the front room. That would be a quieter area where I stay below the loud range… where they look like don’t like too much power/SPL and distortion is going up.
I think I complained in that review about about testing them down to 2Hz and they were complaining about the impedance. I would likely use a sub or a Thomson rotary sub if I was interested in 2 Hz to 20Hz… but that is just me.
One thing that I think is a for sure, is that the testing and your positioning are in violent agreement.
I’ll give them a pass for not appreciating step response, nor phase.
Toole says it doesn’t matter, and they stick to it… but I like when they at least show the measurement.
