OK, help me out here someone: I stuck my neck out on another audiophile forum and now I need backup. Some yayhoo was saying dipole speakers output falls off with distance more than monopoles. He even trotted out some impressive formulas. But I, on the other hand, inserted that in fact the opposite was true; i.e. that dipoles output falls off LESS than monopoles. I just know I've read as much many times in speaker reviews over the years, but of course, I can't seem to find any such backup when I need it, so...am I right, or have I again stuck my neck out only to have it lopped off by some smarmy know-it-all with a danged algebra degree?
