I admit that there will always be room for improvement. The problem is that I don't have
access to a large enough flat space on a routine basis to include a ground-plane
measurement in my test regime. However, I feel the current combination of nearfield
and farfield acoustic measurements, and vibrational analysis of the speaker's cabinet
panels, does uncover midrange problems - the subject of Keith Howard's articles - in
a qualitative if not quantitative basis.
