Regardless of whatever 'suspected', 'hopefully correct' and 'unproven' theories you way find in the wild, there are a few basic facts to take into account: * Each speaker should cover the intended listening area as uniformly as possible. * Almost all speakers will be omni up to to few hundred Hz. Above that the best ones tend to have a fairly broad pattern. * If your room acoustics are bad, using directional speakers will not necessarily help, they could even make things worse. Unless maybe when you're building a PA system in a sports hall. * LF room effects are much more related to *where* the speakers are than to how they radiate. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
