I sit corrected

You misunderstood what I said. I said "radiated" into space, not the percentage of reflected sound reaching your ears. Most of the sound from a musical instrument whether low or high frequencies is not radiated directly at you.

Agreed.

But a speaker can be nearly omnidirectional at middle and low frequencies and highly directional at high frequencies. This is why they sound so shrill and different.

Perhaps that's why I favor full range designs where the radiation is uniform, regardless of frequency.

Why this justified a speaker which radiated 89% of its sound indirectly is unclear....in fact it is entirely irrelavent.

True. All rooms contribute indirect sound without employing that gross solution. 901s can be fun at times though, if not accurate. Carefully controlling the backwave of bipolars so they do not confuse the image is critical.

Nice jousting with you today, sir. Now, I've got to figger out why the stupid HT system is humming.
