The thing most people seem to either ignore or just don't understand about is personal hearing differences and room acoustics that can definitely relate to what they hear.
They're worried about a 'flat response', yet what about their own hearing abilities?
You might be able to design a 'perfect on paper' speaker system, and it might sound like crap to you.
There are many variables to the mix.
The image doesn't show the sensitivity. If you do anything that depends on it, you'll need to bump the level in the simulator.
Mike,
The 075/2402 -6dB point at 3.5kHz is around 100 degree, by 10kHz only 40 degrees, 7.5kHz around half the dispersion (50 degrees) as at 3.5kHz.
If you don't "toe in" the speakers, and listen center (off axis), the high frequency reduction will likely be more than the on-axis gain due to the rising DI (directivity index).

Something to keep in mind thanks. I am also considering bouncing it off of a deflector which of course would change things up a bit too.
