I have been told that it is due to the orientation of the High-Mid driver.  @stevie if you are going to write an explanation for  @Sean it might be worth putting it on the web site.

 

It made me think I was too loud because I could actually hear everything, instead of the sound blasting past me at knee level, and the band told me to turn it up.

I believe I have a decent understanding of the principles involved but the first time I used my LFSys cab in anger, I was asked to turn up for the first ever.

I was just looking at another thread showing a bass stack that included cabs I do not like (clue - coloured sound and look). I suddenly realised that since getting an LFSys, I have had three amps. Before that I was changing cabs more than Rab C Nesbitt changed his string vest.

Yes, that's the experience most people have. Odd, isn't it?

 

The orientation of the horn is one aspect. Another is that the compression driver takes over from below 2kHz, which means you get a controlled dispersion throughout the range of bass guitar frequencies - no matter where you're standing. 

 

I've written a short article for @Sean and will probably post it on the website once I get some explanatory diagrams done. I already have some frequency response curves that show what is going on.

Interesting .... do post a link.   🤞
