Hi folks,
Please just "tell it to me straight" on areas I could improve on the testing process I define in my video below. Please do keep in mind I really didn't want to remove these speakers and do a "formal" near field test. I tried to keep the before and after as close to apples-to-apples as...
Before I do the deep dive and hack up my Super H clones and mount the K-604 horns in them, I feel compelled to take the next step in my audio journey and do some before and after measurements. I’ve downloaded REW and have been browsing calibrated mics; what do I need to know before I get...
I bought a pair of 1983 Heresy speakers a couple of months ago. As far as I can tell, all of the drivers are in good shape. The capacitors all test within spec.
I used REW to measure how they perform (one line per speaker):
Does this graph look appropriate for Heresy's in good order?

OK- maybe not crazy. But to a wannabe audiophile newbie like me... I almost can't believe it.
Just got some Triangle BRO3's and a set of ELAC DBR-62's. I have an old set of Def Tech Promonitor 1000's that were too trebly for me.
Anyway- I was demoing these in my admittedly awfully configured...
Still moving in, unpacking, repairing/upgrading things in the house. But, I now have a decent size room: 17.5' L x 11.5' W x 7.5' H. Unfortunately it has to serve dual purpose with the TV in it.
For now things are temporarily setup while waiting/searching for an audio rack. Much more to do...
These are my first measurements using the UMIK and REW in the mancave.
(~10' wide x 18' long, w/vaulted ceiling. Speakers are 32" from the side wall, 45" from the back wall, stands are (2) trash cans 11" tall each, mic is placed ~7ft away from the horizontal line between the speakers front...
