Has anyone published anechoic SPL patterns for the Ventriloquist satellites?
Most of us probably don't have single-listener environments where everything can be focused on a single "sweet spot." It would be helpful to know how quickly the SPL of the satellite speakers falls off at various frequencies when off-axis.
This is probably more of a "warm feeling" question, since those of us who do have multiple-listener environments (especially with spouse-locked features) have constraints we just have to live with. In my case, my home theater will have an 11' diagonal pull-down screen mounted behind a ceiling beam (I had intended 10', but found an 11' would fit, so ordered that). The Ventriloquist speakers all have to hang from beams on the ceiling, angled in and down. with the front speakers just above and in front of the screen. There's 10' spread of viewing chairs at a distance of 13' from the front speakers.
