i would trust Rog to do what he says hes doing
theres magic trick done by the big boys
next time use your own gear and laptop, see what happens
 
wasn't there some magic tricks done at the show with the new bass bins?

It's like 0-60 times on cars and the long 2nd gear most cars now have (so you can get to 60 with only one gear change, hence giving a more impressive figure)... it's a marketing trick that anyone would employ.
 
Digidrive.. has presets for the porn which have probably had hours and hours tweaking  / measuring / tweaking time... you think Rog didn't use them??? Seriously? They day turned into a porn sales demo really.. be honest.
 
I got far better plots out of the MA912s on a later measuing session with much more tweaking / playing with delays / eq.
 
if Rog really wanted to mess about with the results he could have done so anytime because he was doing the measuring and had the plots.  this is going down a path i dont want to be involved in so i shall leave you guys to it.
 
ps.  with all the tweaking / playing with delays / eq.. do the bokes sound decent now?

I'm not saying the porn will be bad plot wise (listening wise it's beautiful).. but I bet it was designed to give a flat response at 1m for marketing purposes.
 
try giving them a proper listen, you will find they give a flat response at 1m or 10m....

Anyways... I'm near Bath (Frome) if anyone has an Xtro in the area... 
 
The other thing is... we did the plots @ 1m... now, thinking about it, for a horn loaded mid top this is a stupid way to measure, we should have done the plots at 2m / 4m / 8m.. would have given a far more repesentitve plot (you can design a box to perform perfectly at 1m but what does it plot like at greater distances!?!?!)
 
Anyways.. lemme know.

Tom danley measures his basshorns at 10metres with ~100w input. This will give you some real world distortion levels rather than dainty 2.83volts etc.

The plot will change everytime you move 2cms in the HF.Think of how large the wavelengths are,and the interferences that can occur between drivers.Hopefully they are cohesive.

There are many links online about how to measure properly.

The porn plot has EQ on it. Dunno about the stasys.

Exactly.Everything needs context. 1/24th octave resolution,sampling frequency,averaging, measurement conditions.

Take a look at the turbosound aspect measurements,heaps of wiggles,makes me think of less averaging.

HARMAN(jbl)measure their consumer speakers in basically every direction and average the results to get the speaker response,removing measurement artifacts. go to their site,whitepapers.
