Why the large drop off after 10 KHz? Both my 3.7i and biamped IIIa maintain a "normal" output up to 20 KHz (limit of measurement)?

More for others who are unfamiliar with this as I know you have used REW, the blue line is a house curve created to model the "optimum B&K listener response curve" in the other post. It's then best fit overlaid by the REW EQ program on the actual room measurement data (green line).If I toe the speakers in more, it would tilt the whole high frequency range up too much and music would sound overly bright. You'd think the pic below would sound just the opposite, too dull with my aging ears, but it really sounds just right to me.
Some of the roll-off is probably also due to my inability to exactly replicate the position where the microphone placement was when I originally positioned the speakers. As you know, it's a bitch to reposition the mic exactly.

at listening position with very little speaker toe in. I could fix it but it sounds good as is as I don't have bat-like hearing. It gets close to mirroring this without sounding too bright.

Yeah, despite all the technological advancements our ears remain the most important tool we have in our armamentarium. I found that cryo treatment, mainly sticking my head in the freezer for a couple of hours - my wife's suggestion - improves my acoustic sensitivity to the finer audiophilic nuances :).
