Speaker measurement - Question for JA

JA,

I enjoy reading your measurement section of reviews in Stereophile. I would like to ask, can you describe how you measure the individual driver frequency response of speakers? If this is a trade-secret, then just give rough idea is ok, or you can email aj_c(at)mail.com

Thanks

Magnepan 3.6R - fell off recommended components?

Forums

I'm curious, Last time I was speaker shopping , the Magnepan 3.6Rs were on the Stereophile Recommended Components A-Restricted Extreme LF list (Oct 2003 - with a $$$ and a star, no less). I've thumbed back thru more recent lists, and they seem to have fallen off.

Any comments on why they fell off the list. For my ear, its a tough choice between them and the Quad 988s.

Thanks!

CD-R from Continuum rig

In M Fremer's review of the Continuum turntable, you wax poetic about the CD-R you recorded form this rig. I'm still trying to optimize CD-Rs (or just great .wav files) captured from my turntable. Can you describe what equipment and software you used to record digital music from your analog setup?

Thanks!
