Cliff, any chance this will be demonstrated at Axe-fest or is it still in development.
It's still in development. I wanted to have it ready but I don't think it will be possible.

No not much development but it still takes time. Time is not free!

There is something that has been on my mind. You know more about this than me and im just a poor auto electrician. The speaker is not just a filter, its being pushed by the amps output stage. The impedance and inductance (and i think it also has a capacitance) of the coil will affect the amps response at different frequencies. Not to mention the voltage drop (although very small) suffered by the amp as a result of it outputting into 8 ohms. This cant be happening in the axe fx as they are separate blocks that dont interact in any way. There must be more to what happens to an amps voltage signal when induced into a speaker coil than just Impulse responses? Should the amp and cab block be merged into a single piece of software where they are one and dependant on one another for the sake of realism? albeit with all the adjustable advantages of them being separate. Discuss.
That is all modeled in the amp block. The SPKR tab allows you to alter the interaction.
You can argue the semantics all day long. I've compared truncated and non-truncated and the difference is clearly audible. It is especially noticeable when chugging power chords. You can hear the resonance. It goes "bonggggggg" as opposed to "thuk". Most importantly it sounds "better" IMO.
8. UltraRes is an algorithm that markedly increases accuracy. It gives the frequency resolution of a 200ms IR without additional processing overhead and no added latency
...which could be even more accurate when it's based on real data instead of a theoretical value. As you know, two or more (different) speaker in a cabinet, serial wired can do very strange things (even more with older and used speakers)....etc. It would be great if the HiRes-Cab block features an additional "side-chaining" data-bus to the SPKR tab, switchable for those who don't want it. I'm just thinking loud......maybe my idea is stupid (then I keep my mouth shut.....which I can't sometimes.... :lol )
Yes but the IR does not contain that information. The default values in the amp block are based on the measured impedance of the most commonly used speaker for the selected amp. If it is a combo amp then the values are derived from the speaker that was in the cabinet. Most people who capture IRs are unable to also capture impedance data.
I have actually been working on simulating series connected speakers with different resonant frequencies. Listening tests have not exhibited a significant difference but I haven't done enough tests to form any conclusions. Furthermore I have only measured one cabinet to date that has exhibited "erratic" impedance due to series-connected drivers. All the others measure as though it were a single driver with well-defined resonance.
from a purely logical standpoint, anyone who puts this much time and effort into telling everyone over there just how wrong Cliff is seems to have an agenda...
