Came across some notations to this system as being 'more accurate' than measuring in an anechoic chamber for frequency response.

Curious if the sound engineers have opinions on it.

I want one.

Regarding far-field diffraction, I can tell you stories about temperature differences in my room that throw off imaging and soundstage. I recently thought I had tweeter problems on one of my actives. It took me a long time to establish that what I was hearing was the result of a temperature gradient in my room and not a tweeter defect.

Klippels are used routinely in many industries.

Trevor, you have a Klippel, right? You're going to Klippel the M5s, yeah?

Yep. Klippel 5000 with turbo option. Had a groupon!

Tried the test a few times. Would always get buggy and I couldnt finish before clips wouldnt play... ?

Think there are less expensive ways to design this ... also
It's also something I'd build my self ... Now a days it's pretty easy.

I've been reading through the Klippel website. Klippel has done an excellent job on the science of electro-mechanics and electro-acoustics. They'd be a great company I think to help anyone understand what's going on with their electro-mechanical system.

Here's a great article from their website of DC displacement of the voice coil. A good example of that effect is the M100 HP drivers that I posted last year (link directly below). I consider what I did extreme and I am surprised nothing gave way on the six HP drivers that experienced the on-slaught.
