Thanks to this site, I wanted to know the measurements of my old JMLAB Profil 5 Focal loudspeakers. I have just received data from Focal. What do you think? They don't look bad to me. Apart from a strange collapse on the treble.
Measurements were made without the port output (who knows why?)
In attachment the complete PDF.

17kHz dip is typical for Focal inverted dome tweeter. Impedance curve looks like easy load for almost any amplifier. It is not easy to tell much about acoustical measurements (FR), as we do not know exact measuring procedure - impulse response windowed at 8ms? Some off axis measurement would help. The cabinet seems to be a bit lively?

Thanks. I did't know about the 17khz dip. The cabinet seems to me quite deaf if I beat on it.

Weird, was going to suggest they were done in a proper chamber and the port is on the rear, but the port is on the front so I've no idea how they could exclude the port unless they blocked it, which would change other things.
