One of the benefits Stereophile provides audio enthusiasts is providing real world speaker measurements. Every square inch of a printed magazine costs big bucks to print. Stereophile devotes a lot space to these measurements. It is invaluable to know that a 94db speaker is actually 88db! It is beyond irritating when major speaker makers, who promote their speakers as being highly sensitive, are off by 4db or more. Stereophile needs to challenge the industry on this. There are at least two major makers who routinely do this and I won't even consider their product because of it. There are also reputable makers who consistently publish numbers that are accurate or very close. Triangle, Harbeth, and B&W seem to be examples of consistent accuracy. Stereophile needs use their big stick to whack some people upside their metaphorical head. At least set out the challenge. |
