This is kind of a cool discussion. I am so glad that a lot of you guys are going about and experimenting. One of the reasons I didn't want to reveal my rig is that I had to deal with too many armchair quarterbacks who read more than they did. There are a lot of nuances learned when you start doing measurements.
For the purposes of my V2 rig, I elected not to use an ear. Why do you ask? Because the use of an ear may require compensation. I wanted to get fast results that did not need compensation. Also, think about this: when we measure speakers, we measure with a bare microphone wand. If we measure speakers with an artificial head, we will need to compensate or every element (pinna, canal, head, etc.) to arrive at the equivalent microphone measurement.
What I wanted was a measurement that was equivalent to a standard speaker measurement at the listening position.
