In Reply to: Speaker Measurements vs. Subjective Listening posted by lenw on February 18, 2007 at 11:26:57:
I think what Stereophile does is the better approach than using just one evaluation tool. Measurements certainly have there place but the information they do provide is only valid for the test conditions used. For them to be useful you need to know what the conditions are as well as an understanding of how the stated conditions influence the measurements. Ideally a set of measurements under the same conditions in the same environment can be a useful tool to see what differences there are between 2 speakers as an example. Unfortunately there is lot's they simply can't tell you. You can have two speakers measure virtually the same as far as frequency response on axis and sound different. This can be due to differences in power response and other issues as well. One example is the difference in materials used such as Beryllium vs. Titanium used in tweeter and compression driver diaphragms. Others are transient response, dynamic linearity and scale.
