RE: Show me a current monitor

(The angle though is probably there to minimize horizontal mid-range diffraction which would occur with a right angle.)

The angled drivers on the KEF KM1 are bass drivers with a crossover point of 400 HZ mid-range is usually considered to start at 500 HZ. Speakers are round so sound waves radiate in all directions from a speaker, so diffraction happens in all directions not just horizontal and at all frequencies not just mid-range. And diffraction does not occur with right angles. Some people think diffraction is the same as reflection sound waves reflecting off a speaker baffle, but they are two very different things. Diffraction is the bending of sound waves around obstacles. And reflections are sound waves bouncing off a surface.
