Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Much ado about nothing

I am surprised about the recent outcry about VMPS speaker measurements (or lack thereof). Mr. Cheney has stated, if not on this board, than at least on HD, that 1 - he doesn't believe speaker measurements tell enough of the story of how a speaker actually sounds to be very useful, and 2 - that people who design purely for measurements often end up producing a worse sounding speaker than if they weren't so tied to the graphs and plots.

That's his philosophy. If you don't agree, don't buy his speakers. But you might actually listen for yourself, before making a hasty decision.

Mr. Cheney, please correct me if am wrong with any of the above statements.

Also, if a person has a problem with some VMPS speakers he bought, shouldn't that be resolved through e-mails or phone calls, not on a forum such as this?

P.S. - I don't own VMPS or know Mr. Cheney.
