program which pr oduced the Modcl lO has as its major objectives ( 1) ope n,
boxless,
three - dimensional sound ; (2) smoo th , accurat e frequency respon se
across the mu sically relevant audio bandwidth; (3) co nsistently excellent
transient response not just in one or two ranges , but excellen tl y match ed
ac r oss th e tota l bandwidth (30 - 20 , 000 Hz); ( 4) nearly perfect hemispheri ca l
dispersion;
(5) stab le ste r eo and quad r aphonic imaging; (6) efficiency s uffi -
