THX certifies many types of speakers, not just computer speakers. A little context would be helpful.


I see. Your commentary has nothing at all to do with dipolar speakers. You don't like planars.
If they have the issues that were outlined in the link, you are right.


Speculate as you will. I follow empirical results confirmed by listening experience.
Your empirical results need context that you didn't include or missed.


Such is true using the typical monkey-coffin 45 degree models which have little in common with high resolution dipolars. Do you really not understand the difference?
The first THX dipoles were 180 degree designs not monkey coffin 45 degree models.


Sorry if you don't understand the Linkwitz data.
Oh I understand it perfectly now. The link defines a specific set of frequencies when it makes its claims, and that would be the bass frequencies, not the mids or the highs. This little tibit confirms exactly what I have stated.

Large radiating area means that the panel becomes multi-directional with increasing frequency which contributes to critical room placement and listening position.

A multi directional speaker WILL interact with the room acoustics more than mono directional speaker. That is a fact that cannot be disputed.


You asked for a definition of steering and were provided with such.
This not what I asked you. I asked you to show me a HT system with a "steered" image, can you give me an example of one? Panning in a soundtrack has no relationship to a HT system. So what you provided me with was a BS answer.



Certainly not by the standards of many, but I'm glad you're happy with your selections.

I do not buy my equipment to serve the many, and the many does not buy my equipment.

If I used your standards to do what I wanted to do, it would only be half done at best.
