I would probably have a better chance at buying the winning lottery ticket than getting published specs for the Bose 701 series 2 speakers. I did read an interview with Siegfied Linkwitz where you have a mic on axis with the speaker and give it a 1/3 octave pulse. The pulse is short enough that reflections from the room don't have time to interfere with the signal. Anything you pick up would be from the speakers and any leftover energy in it. I might be comparing apples to oranges but I think that is what John kind of meant " in post#3". When he said to use shorter sweeps to see distortion in the impulse response graph. I think I am going to give it a try.
I am learning from this experience and really appreciate the help.
