John: The graph I find hardest to interpret is the horizontal response . .

. . . "normalized to the tweeter axis response, which is therefore shown as a straight line."

This makes sense only when the on-axis response is extremely linear. But when it is highly "abnormal," as it is with many speakers you have measured, it makes very little sense. Why normalize the abnormal? Why not just show the ACTUAL measured off-axis response? Or just show the on and off-axis responses on a standard F vs SPL graph, as several other publications do? This would be more comprehensible, and far more useful.
