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....

a little mic actually clipped to the horn of his sax....)

Common way of doing things if they're going to prance around, or you're
struggling for seperation. Better than no sax at all which is the
alternative in that sort of gig situation. But not ideal mic placement.
You'll often see mics clipped to violins etc too. Even worse solution.
