Yes, but all the other directions are covered, it wouldn't be far off
Close but not really. The short circuit over the top is just enuff to kill off enuff of the hiQ driver to have nice, not boomy bass.

Yeah, it really doesn't take a tall or side gap for a dipole to work if it's wide enough. Way back when in a then neighbor's 7.5 ft high, below grade basement we did a 6 ft high false wall OB for a stereo pair of Altec 515Bs, but while it had a mid-bass, lower mids out to the 500 Hz XO to die for, we ultimately finished it off as a stereo pair of ~150 ft^3 IBs to get plenty of 'sweet' bass once coupled to a ~matching impedance.

I finally got my new system up and running and I couldn't be happier!
I can understand your hesitation about the Eikonas mid-range, I have a pair of the mark 1. They are easy to listen to for long periods.
They look really good. Are the cabinets cut shapes from a sheet of plywood, with a hole in the middle? That would make a very strong and stable cabinet (apologies to UK readers for the unintended political reference). Does it use lots of plywood?

I don't have plans, I just came up with a shape I liked and made sure the volume of the enclosures is correct. Having an odd shape and the cabinet being braced really well, will help with standing waves and maximizing driver output...
I have a MDF plinth (between the monitor and sub) with sticky tack on both sides to help with vibration isolation from the subs...
The Eikona 2s are in sealed cabinets at 5L for volume.
The subwoofers are 40L in volume and are tuned to 25Hz, F3-31Hz, F10-22Hz.

Measurement. Can't decipher though.
What software is it from? How was it taken?
The red line looks like a response plot, it is typical of the driver, and would sound better with eq. It is surprisingly flat, even though it is not level
Andy
Still in the dark as to how to use this software.
Did you have a look at this video that shows up after a quick search with Google?
YouTube
Place the mic about 1m away from the speaker to measure the speaker itself.
Or
Place the mic at ear level at the place you will be listening them to get the room response.
Place the mic about 1m away from the speaker to measure the speaker itself.
Do as perceval suggested - 1 metre (yard) away.
Tell us what software you are using.
Tell us how you are implementing the crossovers.
Then we can help more.
