Re: Let's see

Whether it sucks or not depends on how uniform the dispersion is. Wider is not necessarily better. Controlled and uniform (ie. limiting the angle) is usually better for a wider range of rooms. Dipoles have limited dispersion due to deep nulls at the sides (figure 8 radiation pattern). I have found they work better in a wider range of rooms because there is less side wall interaction.

I have not seen the off-axis for this speaker so maybe it has a quite restricted dispersion (I have seen other ring radiator designs and at least this tweeter does not have a very wide dispersion).

I don't want to defend this speaker too far, however, because I don't think any of the SF speakers I have heard are SOTA. They sound good and look good but they are not at the pinnacle of reproduction IMO.
