I have zero complaints about Jana is trying to do here - and it's showing the shortcomings of the particular rig, very clearly. I have a big complaint. There are shortcomings, but they're not the fault of the speakers. Using a dummy head is worse than, for example, a pair of cardioid microphones because it doesn't do what our auditory system does, filter out the majority of the reverberant / reflected sound in the room. The result doesn't sound like what it would sound like to be sitting in the room. If you must record the sound of the system, place it in an anechoic chamber or an open field. But conversely, don't judge it by listening to it live in such a situation. Most domestic speakers are designed to sound best in a room when listened to by ears. esldude and tmtomh 2 "People hear what they see." - Doris Day The forum would be a much better place if everyone were less convinced of how right they were.

In the second video it's clear that the speakers have poor time alignment, bass and highs don't reach the mike at the same time. The music in the third video is a muddled mess. ,,, You miss the point of the videos. They show very clearly that you can get sound that is closer to the original with a PA outdoors, even at extreme distances, than you get in a domestic room with presumably excellent speakers. For both examples (the Devore speakers and the Danley speaker) the source tracks are on Youtube. Cue them up and compare directly. See which one sounds more like the original, especially the Danley second video. (The time alignment is fine, there's just a bit more bass than the original.)
