How important is power response?


Power response is rarely discussed, especially by speaker manufacturers. On axis frequency response is obviously critical, but what about the linearity of the off axis response?

Is it important, why or why not?

Our local audio society had a demo day at NHT yesterday. The NHT folks talked a lot about power response and how their XD system does a good job with it. To demonstrate, while the music was playing, they turned the satellites around to face the front wall. The result was much less change in overall presentation than you would normally Impressive. I think I'm sold on the importance of power response.
