Answer to what?
How to select loudspeakers. I listen. You interpret measurement graphs.
If you thought about it, you would realize that no one could find a good set of measurements for every speaker in the world, anymore than one could audition every speaker in the world.
You cannot find a good set of measurements (in the sense of providing enough relevant information) for any speaker in the world!
I'm with John Atkinson when he says (from the lecture linked to elsewhere in this thread):
"All measurements tell lies...The only reliable judge of quality in a speaker, of how good it is, is in the listener's ear." :)
Amen, John.
