RE: Measurements vs. Reviewers

Hi,

You are correct in saying that measurements in the right hands. But the right measurements, and enough of them.

The real key to my article isn't that measurements can't be used at all to predict. Rather, what it says is that you must have sufficient measurements to predict, and that, in my opinion, no magazine produces nearly enough measurements to predict anything with great accuracy, including us. You also have to have the skill to do so, which few have.

Over to Dr. Toole. I have tremendous respect for him. At Harman, they do the necessary number of measurements to accurate predict (full sound power and more), which is incredibly time-consuming. They also have skilled engineers able to properly interpret them. So they've gone the extra mile . . . and then some.

A few charts in a magazine, though, won't tell you a great deal. That's my point.
