Why do my 288-8Ks sound like cr@p?

[Altec Best]

Did you put the mic close to the horn (like 2-6 inches) or at a 1meter (40 inch) ?

I tried to get the horn equal distance from the ceiling and the floor with Mic dead center in front of the horn.To limit room reflections.I also measured at low volume from my amp to minimize that as well.IMO it is better to keep the Mic close to speaker to minimize adding any noise into the measurements.Three feet one meter is fine,but in a living room with walls,furniture,etc... It's best to keep the Mic close to the speakers IMHO.It helps, otherwise you will need to adjust the gating on the measurements as well... Zilch used to measure just a couple of inches away.

@ Pano, WOW there is something wrong with those ! Are they all aluminum Frams ? If so what model #? It looks like that dip goes off the chart.Literally !
