The purpose of this topic is not to make a completely exact recording of your speakers. The more exact the better, but it is not a prerequisite that the recording is very precise. Nor is it meant to be a discussion about the usefulness of audio recordings. In my experience, even mediocre microphones can be capable of revealing a fair amount of info about your speakers.

High-quality binaural recordings played back on certain Unix-like systems in bit-perfect mode with realtime audio on neutral ATH-M20x headphones enabled me to know reasonably well how headphones and speakers sound in real life. That quality recordings can share a lot of info is beyond dispute.

I personally use a Trust GXT 259 RUDOX microphone for the recordings below. The only condition for posting in this topic is that you use a microphone in the >$29 USD segment.

[mid-range setup] Infinity Alpha 5 + Sony STR-DB790 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q3F5QSv0js5rMFArFb8FA9PEvxgSiCY_/view?pli=1
[70 EUR newprice all in one budget setup] F&D F550X https://drive.google.com/file/d/1brKRXCyeyWeI3NakpqBd2glhkfiHs267/view

For this recording, I use the analogue output of my ASRock B760M-ITX/D4 WiFi motherboard. I am not using a sound card.
Please share the info of your components and software if you post a recording.
