........but they did work well. Anyone looking for a NanoAVR should let me know. I have no use for it.

So, yes, tweeter diameter/size is a factor in dispersion but its dispersion needs to match with that of the associated drivers or timbre and that is influenced by its mounting and immediate environment. We see a number of speakers that remove the tweeter from the main box and place it in its...

Beam width can be measured in radians/degrees with reference axis or as a length/width orthogonal to the axis.

Again, as someone else pointed out, you are conflating beam width with wavelength.

Yes, it's physics but it ain't the whole story.

It is a bit more complex than that. Measurement are not made just on axis but at all vertical and horizontal angles and the off-axis treble roll varies with frequency and angle somewhat differently in different speakers. Some speakers have wider dispersion at HF than others and the better ones...

I'll have a beer. What else is planned?

Really? Yay! (Never heard of it before.)

Of course. Much more useful than the reverse, imho.

Impressive but wrong direction. AI can already give me the text summary of a video.

And something off-axis and absorbent/diffusive is even better than just carpet.

Replace it with a well-stuffed, soft-covered ottoman!

???? I've been using and reconfiguring Salamander Synergy racks for decades.

For movies. streaming or movie theaters. Since I started with laser discs, I've found that I have no interest, generally, in watching movies more than once. Added in edit: I do have about 200 BDs of opera and ballet but I consider them music with extra features.

None.
