  • Frequency deviation is 4.6dB over the same frequency range.
  • Tonality (Preference) Score
    • Note: The tonality (Preference) score does not make sense for omnidirectional speakers. Don't give too much credits to the value.

    • Tonality (Preference) Score is 3.56 with an EQ and would be 6.31 with a perfect subwoofer and the same EQ.
      • Details: NBD: ON 0.581, LW 0.561, SP 0.452, PIR 0.461; SM: SP0.59, PIR0.628; LFQ 0.186, LFX 62Hz
