This afternoon I measured the bass dynamics performance of these speakers in the room, both together, at 0.2W, 2W, 20W, and 200W (I had to use a different amp to get the 200W measurement). As you can see, the frequency response shows little to no dynamic compression in this condition. This is...

If you claim to be a power-pop lover and haven't heard of Bleu (aka: Bleu McCauley), then you are missing out.

I find those baffles disturbingly sexy.

Well, I like it. I cannot place the genre exactly, part of why I like them. I'd say melodic pop rock cool and kinda avante garde? Maybe?

These are in my drum room, while treated to make the drums sound good, it isn't treated for stereo listening. So, it would just be whatever it happens to be. But, I'll look into it.

I didn't bother with those charts, but I can easily make the power compression measurements. I'll do that soon enough and post the results. To do accurate waterfall measurements of the speakers, I'll have to take them outside for a free field measurement session, which is a harder task. Maybe...

I was asked privately these speakers' response in the location where they are installed. Well, I happen to have that data. This is the 1/3rd Octave Smoothed response of the left speaker on axis (Black) and 30 degrees to the inside (Red) and 30 degrees to the outside (Purple) at 1M in the room...

Oh yeah, and the additional bass traps you put in!!!

Yep.... Now they sit in my music room and mostly get used when I am working from home as my work desk is in the loft connected to the open room where my drums and guitar gear are placed. They sound great in there, but I have to remember to release the snare beds on the snare drums or they buzz...

Yeah, it was the Energy Pro 22.

Satori Woofer Woofer & Tweeter before painting the tweeter's faceplate Sand-filled area in the base of the stand before gluing a top on it. It took forever to get the angle exactly right for sitting exactly 7 feet from the speaker with ears at 38 inches above the floor.

Yeah, while I have a make-shift dust collection capacity, I also wear a respirator mask most of the time I am machining the MDF. Seems to work well. Also, MDF dust is perfect for making wood filler by mixing it with standard PVA wood glue.

I forgot to mention that to additionally improve the bass performance and clean up the midrange, I applied as many as four layers of mass-loaded vinyl to the walls between the braces. This adds compliant mass to the MDF making it less likely to flex and if it does attempt to vibrate, it is...

Thank you so much for saying so.

@heeman You didn't update this threat with the new bowed reflector behind your seating!

There were many little things I did to improve performance, such as placing Sorbothane Disks between the loudspeaker and the top of the middle enclosure to isolate the vibrations from the speaker. I also filled the base plates on the stands with sand to deaden them from any potential vibrations...
