I have a scale and I don't use it. That is because I have a mirror over my sink. I can't pretend I have a 200 lb leg in the mirror.
I saw your statement after I posted mine Greg. Mirror is not always your friend.

let me go above this. while room freq responses help and I do agree there needed. it’s the over sound we each need to like. I’ve been to rooms that were very good on paper but was not music to me.
also close to flat that were amazing.
With headphones most measure the same yet very different in sound. on CIEMS there is a mid freq 4 to 6 k that can be zing if it’s not a bit laid back.
now maybe this is me and im old too.
even if I shut off tweeters on my Maggie’s to adjust weight , scale and imaging if too loud it hurts to me grunge in sound.
Mids in general are hard to make right. just my buck 380 view.

I suppose Ron could just ask Gryphon if there is a notch filter in his passive crossover or not.
That, and these are unlikely to be the same as the traditional BG ribbons. As I said, BG were working on upgraded ribbons that wouldn't have the beaming issue. Pendragon look like the latest and greatest in a new fascia before BG closed down due to death of one of the principles.
The pair I have don't seem to beam in any obnoxious way that I can tell, and are very efficient when driven directly with no passive crossover.
Ok. My understanding was that the resonance was a function of the cavity in the steel frame not the foil itself. This means that it is inherent in how they build up the driver to deal with the strong magnets and keeping the spacing even fit uniform fields.
If I read the following post I would just roll my eyes.
I really feel like the system sounds smoother and more convincing after it's been on for two or three hours.

A mirror is rarely an audiophile’s friend
Self-reflection never good in this hobby
Sure diffusers are good… but where is the stent and the collagen when you really need it

The best use of a large mirror in audio is affixing one on the back wall of an equipment closet to help one see the connectors and labels on the back panels of the components.
mirrors have a few functions most common is mid seat reflection point
Styles yes
Behind equipment racks a good idea me I take pics
And organize the photos
what I find very helpful is lasers
pointers , measure distance and most is to use to know of the speakers are even
I use a cross hair one at seat and one at front of speakers. I use blue painter tape on wood floors
also having measurements

At the risk of causing the pot to be stirred again.
How is the system coming Ron? Is more time allowing things to settle in and improve?
Have you moved the speakers or seat around any more?
I know there are a number of members here that have followed your progress with the anticipation of a wonderful room and system.
Sorry, a thread once again turned into, casting aspersions of who did what wrong.
Anyway many of us would like to hear how your progress is coming.

Ron, keep the updates coming. I'm excited for you and your system!
