Could I suggest Keith that if you want to demonstrate how the speakers
actually sound you should use a coincident pair at the listening position.
Close miking is for guitar amps.

Not at all - the mics are actually *closer* to the piano strings (under the
lid) in all these recordings:

Recording the speakers from the listening position in my room is going to be
90% room, 10% speaker - the purpose of the clips was to blot out as much
'room' as I could, while still allowing enough 'backwave' to get to the
mics....

(Last night Swim paused the telly to show me someone - 'Take That'?? - with
a little mic actually clipped to the horn of his sax....)
