[QUOTE="Brad Weber, post: 25387, member: 114"] Re: Loudspeaker Aspect Ratio's An interesting approach and I can see how it might help some people understand the basic concepts. However, it does seem to assume a nice, smooth polar response with no lobes and that does not vary with frequency, which is nice in theory but not really valid for most devices. What really messes up some simplified concepts like this is something like a speaker whose pattern may drop 6dB as you move off axis but then increases again further off axis. That is why looking at the actual polars or balloon data over the operating frequency range can potentially tell you so much more about the directivity of a speaker than a single number value.
