So is all this just preference or is there something magical that happens with the IR at the resonence freq spec'd by the manufacturer? For instance, what if I set the res freq for Celestion G12M at 95Hz instead of 85Hz? Would I be missing some of this magic in the interaction of the model and the IR itself? Or is this truly just preference and a attempt to emulate the output of the real speaker?
Also, in the discussion about finding the resonance frequency of a guitar cab, the assumption seems to be to disregard any spec'd resonance frequency and use your ears to determine that of the cab, not the speakers per se. How does this translate to FRFR? Is there any relationship to the resonance of the FRFR itself? Is there value in considering the resonance frequency of a given cab over it's component speakers in an FRFR context?
