Thanks Jim Here is the text I intended to include:
Here are 2 plots of the HT3 I have in my work room. If they don't post in the right order, hopefully you can figure them out. One is the standard one-meter on-axis plot, with no smoothing. It bears a strong family resemblance to the V3 plot that Jim posted in that thread. The second shows the response when the mic is moved about 50 degrees off-axis to the right (or left--same result). This is a much more rigorous test of a speaker's performance. It's very difficult to avoid funny dips and peaks due to differences in the dispersion patterns of the drivers, and diffraction effects from the cabinet edges. But if the drivers, crossover points, and cabinet baffle edge treatment have been chosen correctly, you should see a fairly smooth response with the highs trailing off due to inevitable beaming from the tweeter. In this case, the response is still reasonably flat to 10 kHz. The 50 degrees angle is extreme--usually you see plots at 15 and 30 degrees. The fact that things still look respectable way off axis indicates that the G2 ribbon has very smooth, extended dispersion, and that there should be no imaging problems from the stereo pairs.
