Nice! How far away do you actually sit away from them? I wish I had the space for anything bigger than bookshelves with 5" drivers :(

Bout 5' from back wall, I sit 8' away from baffles. I could use a bit more space behind me though.

Not Heil..the ESS Heil's kinda sound like crap from what I've heard at shows. This is supposedly to be a similar drive mechanism but a totally different take on it in terms of implementation.

What equipment did you guys use to measure speakers, and how does one go about applying PEQ based on the measurements? Would love to see how the overnight sensations MT measure in my dorm room.

Get Dayton or miniDSP mic if you want cheap and easy. I'm using WM61 capsule mic with hack-job preamp at the moment. Cheaper actually, but not easy.

1/3 octave smoothing. This is a 3-way at the moment. Not bad
