Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused

@donavabdear

If you look at the pic of my system I have the Paradigm matching active CC below the screen and the passive Paradigm CC above the screen (active would be too heavy for a ceiling mount). When you sandwich a big screen between two CC’s like this the sound seems like it is coming from the center of the screen.

@thespeakerdude is limited to cutting and pasting from other websites like his graph here, maybe he can cut and paste a picture of a CC, that would be impressive. The guy couldn’t even recommend a system with a $200K budget, if you feel like having him "point" somewhere I think you will be lost in 60 seconds LOL.🤡

@kota1 for reasons only known to you you have issues with me. Feel free to direct message me and rant all you want. Be respectful and don’t make your issue everyone else’s issue as you are doing. It is disrespectful to everyone else here. Only you can make the actions of not making your beef everyone else's problem.

@thespeakerdude lots of plots even polar patterns about speakers and SPL /directivity but not frequency polar patterns what could be more important. I think it shows how many poor crossovers there has been historically that the main plots on speakers is SPL. Even the few frequency polar patterns I've seen with speakers rarely show anything in the back of the speaker, if the sound coming out of the back of a speaker is off then the sound in the room will not be what it should in the important reverbs and ambiences.I often say microphones and speakers are the same, it's true and this little note is because microphones are much more scientific and not marketing driven. If speakers had a single point source the measurements would look just like microphone polar patterns and speaker manufacturers would be held more accountable.

@kota1 "Gone in 60 Seconds " was a big movie we shot in Long Beach Ca for nearly 3 months at night and about 2 months in other locations, it was very grueling. 

I think @thespeakerdude is for real, I don't know the audiophile world yet but I do know the physics of sound and he gets that right.
 

I saw your thread on sound measurements, curious as to why so much info on SPL and so little info given by way of frequency polar patterns?

@donavabdear ,

but not frequency polar patterns what could be more important

The heat graph I posted is a frequency polar pattern graph.

Even the few frequency polar patterns I’ve seen with speakers rarely show anything in the back of the speaker

Note the graph legend on the left. It goes from 180 degrees at the top (backwards) to 0 in the center (straight forward) and to -180 degrees on the bottom (backwards again).

But the consumer market is not the professional market. I doubt any consumer speaker manufacturer supplies a heat graph like the one I posted. They seem to try their hardest to supply as little information as possible. That graph is from an independent review site.

Compare that to literature from a professional speaker manufacturer:
