Just wait until the owners of B&W and Klipschhorn stumble over this thread ...
Maybe @amirm can promote this thread to the main page and give it some exposure then

I had panels (MG 1.6) for 13 years before switching to studio monitors, but they sounded (in my vague remembering) more like A than D.Well I owned Quad esl 63's for 12 years. They replaced Acoustats and were replaced by Soundlabs. Any others of you who chose D own panels? So maybe even at a Harman test I'd choose panels.
Interesting test for us.
You could buy either of these two and use your own ears or a dummy head for binaural recording.Interesting indeed. We should run those types of tests more often. I am toying with the idea of trying with my pairs.
What would be a decent minimal setup to record speakers in stereo? Rode NT4? But I see it is out of stock everywhere right now.
Superlux S502 seems to get good reviews, is in stock and much cheaper but is rated to 40Hz only.
Zoom H series?
One from Head Acoustics, probably HMS II or III.BTW, @thewas do you know which dummy head was in use?
Anyone owns a Jecklin Disc? Orr knows how to build one?Interesting indeed. We should run those types of tests more often. I am toying with the idea of trying with my pairs.

Nothing to a Jecklin Disc. Any disc, an LP for instance isn't a bad size, placed between omni's about 7 inches apart. I've also used rectangular baffles instead of round ones. Despite what you'd think they aren't very similar to binaural however. A nice way to record which I used often when I only had two mics. It can leave a slight hole in the middle effect on imaging. One reason I made a rectangular baffle. One 8 inches tall, and 5 inches front to back worked nicely and it had less hole in the middle effect.Anyone owns a Jecklin Disc? Orr knows how to build one?
I'm not so sure about this. IME one just adapts to the sound of speakers one listens to regularly, and this sound signature becomes one's personal reference. Therefore it makes more sense for me to get neutral speakers and adapt to its neutral sound (to overcome one's own circle of confusion).I think the main message here is that all speakers need EQ (which we know) and that you need to tailor the EQ to match your own particular preference rather than sticking blindly to a particular target (which some people still argue about). The real trick is learning what your own preference really is, which can take some time to work out.

Thanks. I've ordered the Roland in-ear microphones. Inexpensive, and quick delivery from my local Amazon. We'll see where that leads me.
