hobbyinn Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I currently have four R-51Ms for my upper Atmos speakers in a vertical configuration. I am changing the mounting system and horizontal would be a better option. I know they have square tweeter horns, but am also aware there are other factors to consider that likely impact the dispersion. I cannot find the pattern listed in any specifications. Anyone know what it is? BTW, the speakers are directly pointed at the MLP. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobbyinn Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 Thanks. I saw that, but wondered if other factors, such as the interaction between the tweeter and woofer, made a difference. Ultimately, I think you are right. After more digging, I found other Klipsch spec sheets that use the term "coverage" when discussing the horn aspect ratio. A vast number of their speakers use 90 degrees horizontal and 60 degrees vertical. I wonder if some of their book shelf speaker such as these use 90/90 thinking that some who buy this type speaker will lay them horizontal on the "bookshelf". Just a thought. Thanks again.
