It is a good point. I only have so much time. If you provide me with references and some material, I will gladly add them in the future. It will even be better if you write it yourself. I promise I will share all the royalties.

Great job Big Daddy!!! As always continuing to make this site a better one.

Great thread! Don't forget the potential for comb filtering with dipoles.

For fun with interference patterns using a ripple tank, try this. Change "setup" to two sources (speakers), then dipole and then move the speakers (using your mouse) to the room corners.

See, I want to know how many people had this thread go completely over their head.

Great read though, Daddy-O, I've been meaning to understand how dipole surround speakers work.

I have to admit that it went completely over my head.

Elemental Designs makes custom dipole speakers. You should add them to your list.
