Ok, as I said I am skeptical about the idea of omnidirectivety. I do see a number of objective rising problems and the most important I do not see why omnidirectivety is necessary at the first palace. People who do omnidirectivety claim that omnidirectivety images “better” but imaging I never considered as a problem with loudspeakers. There is however one aspect that not allow me to be confident with my omnidirectivety suspicion – I never was exposed to omnidirectivety done right.

What I mean that any omnidirectional playbacks (or even dipole playbacks) that I have heard sounded bad not because the omnidirectivety but because they were very bad made speakers. But it is not all. The most important from my view is the fact that somebody design and implement the whole playback concept explicitly with omnidirectional objective.

The omnidirectivety might be a liability for a product or something that shrinks the application of the speaker. But omnidirectivety might be an advantage if the is being used as an apperceive tool. Here is what I am not experienced at all and therefore I would hold my judgment.

I know defiantly that the omnidirectional speakers must not be used as they were pictured by 6moons’ guy in the Alex home. That way I am interested to see the Federated Mike’s pictures from RMAF – to see how they were installed. I think now, as RAAL made the speakers then need to learn how to USE them, develop methodology for setting them up and flood the market with objective or fictional propaganda of exclusive advantages of omnidirectivety.

The funny part is that it might bring some fruitful result. Pretend that RAAL found some kind configuration (let say in the middle of room, at 140 degree) that produces a result that no other front firing speakers can heddle. It would right the ay set all bids off, legitimizing omnidirectivety. So, let wait what RAAL, Morrison and others will do with omnidirectional opportunity. I do not see it as now but I never saw it…
