when you speak of a speaker's "accuracy"?

Also, do you consider any of the environments pictured here (using flush mounted speakers high above the listener) to provide the ideal way to convey a three dimensional reproduction of any demanding acoustical venue? Or even to resemble the home environment in which folks listen to music?

  remember when they gave speakers "accuracy scores" expressed as percentages? Of what, I'll never know, of course.
  
  I don't think they do that any more; in fact, I'm not sure they even review loudspeakers.

    In their current issue, they express disappointment in a certain brand of pound cake, whose packaging proclaims the product to be "Marble flavor".
    
    Discovering that in fact the flavor is simply that of chocolate and vanilla, CR says they "were looking forward to the taste of limestone".
