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?

Try the listening test.

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... ?

Hmmm...I've done the test a few times with no problems.

Gotta find me that Groupon coupon and Klippel me timbers.

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.
