Hi,
The raw data with corrected ER and PIR:
Score no EQ:
With Sub:
Spinorama with no EQ:

- Not as Flat as i would expect, maybe because the multimedia usage?
- Still pretty good
- As expected the power handling is not great but given the size...
Directivity:
Better stay at tweeter height (MTM configuration...)
The wave guide seems to be not that efficient on the Vertical plan and/or the XO not optimized?
Pretty good on the horizontal plan
Given the very near field intended usage just ON should be considered?

EQ design:
I have generated two EQs. The APO config files are attached.
Score EQ LW: 5.76
- The first one, labelled, LW is targeted at making the LW flat
- The second, labelled Score, starts with the first one and adds the score as an optimization variable.
- The EQs are designed in the context of regular stereo use i.e. domestic environment, no warranty is provided for a near field use in a studio environment although the LW might be better suited for this purpose.
- A few sharp adjustments that would need careful listening to validate.
- Added a High Pass filter as the THD seems to indicate it could do with it.
- Preamp gains not to be ignored, clipping may be an issue so the EQ might diminish even further the dynamic range of the speaker.
- Too bad we don't have a measurement of the built in EQ, would have been interested to see what it does...

this EQ boost at 3 khz i need too. I use 3 khz Q2.4 and +1.4 db and look linear. i think a very important boost. this give even more stereo width and room depth. On 1.9 khz i use Q2.2 and -1.3 db and at 8.5 khz the -1.5 db Q 1.5 is not so important.
