    Why is it that some dynamic IEMs have these narrow driver resonances between 1-3kHz that come with distortion spikes - in this case at about 1.2kHz. Otherwise - looks very bright. I'm assuming some damping could help here. The midrange up to 2kHz actually looks close to the UERMs. It's a dynamic driver, so I'm assuming the perceived treble extension is better than the plots would suggest?

    Off the shelf driver into off the shelf housing, perhaps? Really need to use BAs if that's the approach. A dynamic will get resonance spikes unless the housing and driver are carefully paired.

    It's just that I'm wondering where these very narrow resonances come from. In the FR it's not more than a small dip or peak, but there's also almost always a big distortion spike and/or a resonance in the CSDs. Usually driver or enclosure resonances have a lower Q and higher amplitude.
    In some cases it's also a QC problem: One channel in my Carbo Tenores has it, the other doesn't.

    EDIT: Also interesting that the distortion lowers (!) so significantly at the resonance(?) at around 1.6-1.7kHz.
    Both of these also don't seem to show up in the impedance plot. Interesting. Does that mean it's an enclosure thing?
