When I started in this interesting hobby of ours I was heavily interested in the measured results and bought almost entirely based on those results. It wasn't until I auditioned stuff pseudo blind that I found much better sound from much worse measurements. When I auditioned a big huge massive silver amplifier that I thought was a 500 watt SS beastie which turned out to be an 8 watt SET.
Then when you see the measuring done by the industry that seem to take great pains to make certain designs look good on paper like measuring SS amps at near full level where they perform best but not measuring at ten thousandth of a a watt where they perform crappy. And since most listening most of the time is well under 1/2 of a watt it might be useful to see the measurement where most of the music is mostly played most of the time - not a peak transient at full level where the ear is shoddy at determining quality anyway. Or my Cambridge Audio CD player that lists Wow and Flutter on the spec page? Why? Just to show that it's better than a turntable. Most modern turntables have wow and flutter below human auditory perception anyway. So here we have a bragging rights spec that means zilch in the real world of listening.
Even this distortion debate - one speaker has 0.2% THD at 400hz and another has 0.7% - yeah so what? I doubt either will be differentiated in real world transients (music playback).
