RE: JA doesn't routinely perform those tests

>It would certainly be useful if he did!

I don't see the point with non-minimum-phase systems, which is the case
with 99.999% of loudspeakers. The step response that I do publish gives
the readers the same information in a more readily accessible form, I feel.

>It would also be nice to see harmonic distortion vs. frequency, a test
>much more relevant to how a speaker will actually sound.

As I have written in the magazine, it is difficult to get meaningful and
consistent distortion measurements without access to an anechoic chamber.
I also don't think it as important as you do - see link below.
