I go by the results. Which sound the best - then correlate back to what the designers say. If Speaker A sounds better than speaker B by a significant margin then what the designer of speaker A says carries more weight than the designer of speaker B - even if there are 350 manufacturers making similar speakers to speaker B and only 5 who make similar speakers to speaker A.Three of the top 5 speakers I have heard are hard edge speakers and several speakers would get honorable mentions.
Audio Note, Trenner and Freidle's Ra Box, and recently the ATC SCM 150 pro studio monitor are 3 of the 5 in my top 5 thus far. Acapella is not totally applicable here and the other is a Manger driven single driver horn.
