Thanks Mark.
I've been using the FE167E for a while now. They had been discontinued but I managed to get a used pair.
I was using a Fostex FE127E before, and they did not seem to be lacking HF.

Well yes.....I measured my mets and was able to remove the midrange peak I found, by using the black tack mod to the FF225WK.Nick wrote:It may be a boring thing to suggest, but I would consider measuring the speaker to see just what problem you have before trying to find a solution to it.
Measurement can point you towards problem areas. What you do about what you identify, is of course up to you.

Was that with the £30 microphone you got from Amazon (?) Steve? I wondered how you got on with it and whether it was worth getting one?

Yes it is a good microphone and worth buying.simon wrote:Was that with the £30 microphone you got from Amazon (?) Steve? I wondered how you got on with it and whether it was worth getting one?
I'm currently designing a new generation of Metronomes including a folded one that will take bigger drivers, so the mic will be getting used quite a lot in the near future.
The ones you saw at our Ant's yesterday are part of that new speaker family.

I am very tempted by that, but I am not sure, because I find that if I listen to a sweep I am finding out what is linear for my hearing. That may be a more useful standard of measure. It's n-t like I have to produce honest facts to go with a new product I'm selling. I have to make a speaker I enjoy listening to.
So I'll hold my finger off the add to basket button until someone convinces me otherwise.

Thanks Steve, I'm very tempted. It looks simple enough for a numpty like me to use. And not too much to lose...
