I think I know what at least part of the problem is here - I aimed the
mic at the 'other' speakers and haven't moved throughout all the
recordings. I guess it was therefore well 'off axis' for B & D, although
I thought it probably wouldn't matter much. (How do you 'aim' a mic when
the bass is coming off the rear wall...??)


Ahh, just a mo, don't "aim" the mike at the speakers, AFAIK, its a omni,
but should be positioned pointing up. I may have misled you saying
position it in line with the drive unit. What I meant was have the end of
the mike in line with the axis of the speaker. Though given the size of
the room, it will be getting as much from the room as directly from the
speaker. Part of the reason its a thin pointy shape is to avoid having
surfaces near the capsule that will cause unwanted ripples in the
response. Idealy have it on the top of a mike stand, or as I suggested
suspend it from above by the cable.



OK, ballsed that up then! :-)

I'll knock up a little stand and line it up with the EX3s...
