Sorry we are giving you such a hard time, but we have been presented with some pretty insane claims that include weird reflections of football field scoreboards, 3" power alleys, sound that is so diffuse it doesn't interact with the room and what have you. Most of the observations that are described can be easily attributed to well known properties of sound, making it easy to dismiss the stated explanation of same observations as the product of clueless persons. Since some of the claims come from people that most of us here on the forum have long considered to be far from clueless, we are a bit curious about what is going on. I have no problem accepting the listening test observations, particularly since we were given one very strong clue (some recorded music sounds great, other music very much less so) as to the nature of the sound coming from these speakers. Speakers that are a total mess in terms of phase, multiple arrival times, distortion etc. will often sond good on material that is "thin", like a single instrument, a singer and a guitar, etc. because it adds to the sound in a way that one might find desirable or at least not undesirable.
