While measurements are a good baseline to get a "grasp" on the speakers electrical performance and how it will interact with the partnering amplifier, that does not always translate into what one hears.Take for example the recent interest/resurgence in AlNiCo magnets being utilized in speaker drivers. While we can't "measure" the difference between say a Neodymium and an AlNiCo as it pertains to acoustical properties, the ear can certainly hear that the 2 different magnets impart different sonic flavorings/characteristics!
IMHO, one just needs to listen to a speakers that suits ones needs and choose which one meets the requirements of the end user....bottom line.
There R some speakers out there that don't adhere to strict scientific disciplines that sound "musical" as hell and that should be all that matters.....IMHO of course.
