righto Dan, onward and forward.

I will have a look today and see how practical it is to throw some subs in a corner, I might be able to do it...real estate is tight right now! Even so, it won't be exactly in a corner but pretty close, be buggered if I am pulling all the books out of yet another bookcase only to move it two feet!!

Will indicate on the diagram where it is if I manage to get it in.

Four positions, for sure that's no problem. Around the LP? Or do you mean a few feet apart, really widely spaced? I mean I don't care, it's pretty easy for me to do what is best here, as long as I know. Each corner of room, see what I mean?

I mean where is the best position to pick up what we want? May as well stick the mic there, the LP is kinda 'middle of roomish', so maybe not the best spot for these tests?

Pretty sure I have read the primer, will do it again tho, thanks.

Can easily test the membrane, but with what I had in mind not so easy to test then BOTH membrane and coupler. Would be a real bugger to have one undo the work of the other tho, so somehow need to know that so I can rule it in or out. Must have to think of a way to do that test.

Just for clarification, I don't use subs per se in my mains, just a pro woofer (18 inch PHLs), so any talk of subs makes me think of other things if you follow.

(Quite proud of my diy speakers, so be warned that any encouragement about them will make me wax lyrical,flowery and long!!)

EDIT last thing on all things 'mic', does it matter or do you have a preference for how high??
