that's rather odd; can't anyone - with suitable equipment - perform those measurements and a competitor surely knows how to do the measurements.
thanks for interest.

Absolutely! And if a competitor were really concerned about matching some attribute of their performance, buying a set is damn cheap R&D especially since they'd need one anyway to compare the results.
I think the excuse is both silly and lame. I'd guess that what they are really concerned about is simply poor looking measurements. Panel speakers are rather chaotic beasts and prolly a lot tougher to meaningfully characterize than systems that are more of a point source because they radiate over such a large area WRT the room. None the less I'm not impressed with their behavior and this information lowers them several notches in my book. If they can't justify their design they can keep it!

Yes, they really need to be measured from a distance. Not practical given the practical constraints of Stereophile's testing program, I asked JA about this a while back.
In addition, I suspect they don't feel a pressing need for reviews to sell their speakers. Why be in a position to feel a need to explain measurement results?
