Hey Mark, No luck on the projector. I stopped by my son's house this afternoon to check if it might be there, but it looks like he may have left it at his office after the last time he used it.

This and a little mic:
Dayton Audio iMM-6 iDevice Calibrated Microphone | 390-810
And you are business for decently accurate acoustical tests.

And now to break the ice on what I heard.
Some people say that a designer always loves his work.
Not me.
I listen. If I like it, then great. If I don't like it I find out how to make it better.
To characterise the listening space, well it is fairly live. But not insanely so.
We set the enclosures about 1/4 of the way into the room driving them the length of the room.
In the past I have found that the more faithful and revealing the speakers, the more I found I had a love hate relationship with recordings. This happened to the nth degree with these speakers. If you ad a mediocre recording, it was taken apart with a rusty saw and an old pair of pliers. You can hear every edit, every contrivance a recording engineer uses to trick us into thinking you are listening to a decent recording.
Ouch!
But.
Play a truly great recording and the beasts come alive. They are so clean and dynamic that you tend to play them quite loud. It takes a bit of getting used to.
I'l leave it at that.
I have heard many things on these speakers that I have never heard before.
And we auditioned some very demanding recordings that Medium John (MrSlim), and Little John (Multisync) brought.
Drums, whips champagne corks. All very interesting tests of a speakers dynamic range.

For all the golden ears among us. This is a very interesting test:

The Straus music and sound effects was provided by Eric Kunzel and Cincinatti POPs Ein Straussfest on the Telarc label CD-80098
I think we enjoyed Champagne Polka, Banditen Galop, Explosions Polka and the favorite heart stimulator Unter Donner Und Blitz Polka (Under Thunder And Lightning Polka).

Your results file didn't show up Mark.
After I did that test I did a more difficult "blind" test and got 9/10 for 15kHz:
High Frequency Hearing Loss Blind Listening Test
Here's mine:
