General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Bass "sloped response.... tied to directivity as well as response."

Deep bass is totally omnidirectional. It can't be located by human hearing. If the deep bass comes from a separate sub woofer with a fast low pass crossover you can stand next to the sub woofer while deep bass is blasting away and you won't hear any bass from the sub woofer bass box even if you put your ear close to it. It will seem to come from the main speakers. All the deep bass directionality comes from higher frequency harmonics.
