In Reply to: Speaker Measurements vs. Subjective Listening posted by lenw on February 18, 2007 at 11:26:57:
they don't tell the whole story. The designer needs them as a starting point for design and I wouldn't buy a speaker from a company that only listened and didn't measure their speakers. On the other hand I wouldn't buy a speaker based on its measurements only. There is a balanced to be struck between the objective (measurements) and the subjective (listening) that is critical.As an example, I have invariably disliked speakers with flat power response in real rooms, they are always IMO, too bright. Speakers with a declining response in the treble don't have this problem, they tend to sound more natural with this balance.
I think it is something that most audiophiles would agree with that there are things that we can measure but not make correlations with sound quality in any meaningful way.
