Sometimes I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone black and white television series.

As far as power response, I'm afraid I don't follow what you're saying. R U saying the dB level coming out of the speakers or R U saying the amount of power the amps are kicking out or what ??????????????? I don't know how a room has a power response ???????????????
Think of power response as a bunch of frequency responses taken over a sphere and added together...it's the total power eminated by the speaker.
As far as a room having a "flat power response" - that's like saying that every surface absorbs/reflects all frequencies the same way (which is never the case). If you have enough of a random distribution, then you can get away with the average of all the surfaces achieving the same thing.
I am glad that you agree that real life situations with music do not have constant directivity.
But they should.
R U an engineering instructor or something? Those are good descriptions.
It sounds like you are chasing the perfect theoretical that does not exist. Am I right?

When I went around listening to speakers after I sold the Jubilees, I didn't hear anything that sounded bad.
Y did U sell the Jubilee speakers and R U saying that everything sounds good 2 U pretty much? Klipsch makes Jamo??????? Why are there so many Klipsch models anyway? It's too confusing as it is!!!!!!!

out of work since June last year. unemployment about run out. savings tanking. depression killing me.
Hope and change.

Well whoop-de-do. I was going to give you advice but you don't deserve it with your 'tude.

Doctor, you sometimes make my eyes glaze over. Reflections and direct sound . . . that sounds like you've been reading Bose 901 literature.

I am glad that you agree that real life situations with music do not have constant directivity. I am thinking back to every time I have heard a band play. I am thinking back to every person I talked to during and after. I am sure that NO ONE EVER complained that it would have sounded better if the speakers had had Constant Directivity. I rest my case.

Using a laser is being too anal about it. Sound does not come out like a laser beam as Doctor Who correctly explained it. Fretting too much kills the enjoyment. It's better to just relax, make some positioning adjustments over a long period of time in a calm state. It'll be good.

When you're off-axis from the 510 horns, the highs aren't as bright, but it still sounds good, like the bass is more full. You have to be 40 degrees or more off axis before you really notice, because they're 90 degree horns in the horizontal plane.
If that's the case it's even sillier to worry about it, IMHO.

Klipschheads sure can be nosy. Comment on the issue at hand please and discuss your personality critiques with your psychiatrists.

You don't run the show, mate.

CDs don't burn so much as melt unless you get them really hot. Anything will burn if you get it hot enough. A meteorite will catch AIR on fire as it passes through!

I already have a puppy dog and she is much friendlier than you.

The problem with this set up is aesthetically. That is to say, all that crapola on the floor is an eyesore. Having anything between your speakers is probably THE MOST COMMON MISTAKE that audiophiles make. Do you know why they do it? Maybe I am talking about you so listen up! They do it because it keeps the speaker wire out of the way so you don't trip on it. Who cares about it ruining the imaging? With those nice K-horns the sound would be good that's true but gee there is so much that could be done with the room. What's with the couch cover? Why would anyone want to watch movies while listening to K-horns? I don't get it. So close but so far.
-
Everybody keeps mentioning THD but there are lots of different distortions other than intermodulation and THD.
-
Constant directivity seems a little silly to me personally, IMHO. Why shouldn't the speaker sound change a little bit depending where you are in a room? If you are at a concert or a club or a bar whatever, the sound changes everytime you move somewhere else.

Did you want Goodwill to come to your joint and haul them away? Or did you try to drop them off (go to the rear of the building and drive over the rubber hose and a bell inside the store will sound). The workers are always glad when I donate records so it really strikes me peculiar your experience so different than mine.

For my birthday(Dec 31), I went thrift store shopping with my sisters.
I've noticed a lot of thrift stores smell bad or even P U stink. One that I know makes me almost gag when I walk in. It smells sickeningly sweet like it's maybe a cleaner of some sort with kind of a dried, putrid bubblegum odor.

Just found out about a local Goodwill where a guy bought a set of Altec Voice of the Theatre speakers for $ 45.00
Dang! Wouldn't that have been sweet to get them!!!
-
I wouldn't buy any of it myself because of fear that it just might very well be haunted.

Do you ever have a positive response?
I really do not appreciate your commenting on the tone of my post. If you don't have anything to say of substance, just don't waste the bandwidth.
Pete and I are fellow poker players and vinylheads. I was complimenting his Thorens if you need to have it spelled out for you.

The BBC monitors control IMD by limiting excursion. They start rolling the bass off at 90Hz, and they are intended for near-field use in small control rooms. Near-field use reduces input power requirements. Near-field use causes room gain to reinforce the bass. The highs have a dip in response centered around 4KHz which further increases apparent bass output.
OK I guess that should have been obvious to me that you'd have less IMD if it wasn't playing louder than it was designed to play. When PWK wrote about large amounts of IMD, was he measuring a speaker inside its design parameters or was he driving the gosh darned thing too loud?!?! Because I think we can all agree that the BBC mini monitor in question sounds dang good. I remember being impressed as all heck years ago hearing a pair in a showroom. Cone and dome but what's the problem other than you can't play it loud? Maybe LS3/5a-heads have less permanent hearing damage than Klipschheads!?!?!
-
The reason IM distortion is so objectionable is because the distortion frequencies generated are not harmonically related to the fundamental, unlike THD.
I have read that somewhere before but I wonder if it is true so much with music in a real life situation. There are different types of distortion and I don't know that I for an example could hear it, let alone distinguish it from some other kind of distortion.

Later, I had Simon/Garfunkel "Old Friends" playing (but this one WAS a video, first one was simply CD)
As they were singing, I felt as though you could distinguish that Garfunkle was on the left AND was taller than Simon. They both had a mic, so I'm hoping the mix of mics helped do that... then again....was it because I was seeing it that made me think that?
I don't know that I've ever been able to distinguish when two singers side by side, have a height difference...therefore, I want to mess around more with it. It was pretty cool though. Clearly, a sweet sounding amp and this is with EH-300B's in it. I don't have the W.E. 300B's in (and doubt I will) Chris told me he found sonic bliss when he put the Western Electric 300B's in this amp.
Artie is only a couple of feet taller than Paul. A friend of mine was at a restaurant in Baltimore years ago and Simon was a few tables away. He was sitting on one of those booster chairs for kids.

Now it is officially too complicated to keep track of.
