I think you took slightly wrong in my comments that life acoustic bass is dipole. It is absolutely not dipole. In context of listening space it is what we call an objects single point source, where geometrical dimension of radiating surface infinitely negligible to focusing distance. Maybe in a context of a large organ or 120 piece orchestra it is not a single point source but each individual instruments for certainly is. However, and it is huge and very important however from my point of view. The quality of the base that life acoustic instrument produces is rather similar to what in audio produced by the dipole bass.

Well to be perfectly honest dipole in my view not in the top of the packing order but rather infinite buffle. However infinite buckle is virtually not known in audio and successful implementation of infinite buffle is rather accidentally successes then I predictable result. Is very large room, very large open bottle, we are talking 20-40 is an option but in the bottom knee it's act as dipole. When we talking about dipoles it is important differentiate a dipole as a topology and dipole as specific implementation. I have seen some obscene dipole 20 Hertz electrostatic panels driven by 5,000 volt directly couple transmitter tubes. Is that implementation and the sounds very ridiculous but it has on topological dipole non-abusiness that's very much present during life acoustic listening. 

Saying all of this I would like to clearly highlight that I'm advocating the subject this in opposition of my personal preference. I am advocating that dipole bass in order has significantly more similarity to acoustic basd from from live performance. However, I still insist that properly implemented non dipole bass it's more to listening benefits. In my view dipole bass it's kind of easy come easy go type of bass.  I fully admit that non-dipole base has more audio impressiveness which has nothing to do with music itself. However as an audio practitioner, to me that bass actaves are just another expressive tool and I know how to use it. It is virtual impossible to look, or to manage, or to analyze dipole bass for one or half octave. I have very little understanding of recognizing measurable and auditable in dipole bass as sometime different things means different things.  It is like some people who used conical horns for their installations. Sometimes they work fine and sometimes they do not, I do not think anybody was able to figure out why yet. With non-dipole base I feel that I have control and I feel I have an established pattern between navigating sound to a direction and getting a specific auditable result. So, in my view, non-dipole bass is a badly playing musician but at least if I am a conductor he take right notes in the right time. With the dipole basd it would be a spectacular musician who can play different score from the rest musicians of my orchestra. 

If somebody feels as they harvest the secrets of dipole bass and are willing to demonstrate please invite me I would be the first I would like to learn the accomplished result.
