An example of Jon Risch's second point may be found

in the larger versions of John Dunlavy's designs (Duntech and DAL). While the standard for measuring frequency response seems to involve placing a microphone one meter from the front baffle board, Dunlavy quotes frequency response for his larger speakers when measured from three meters. This is done to allow for convergence from the spacing of several drivers. So, you and I can each measure but our results may be very different depending on our assumptions and the many variables we choose from. There is a clue here as to how John expected listeners to use his speakers

Then there is the issue of designing a speaker for best response in an anechoic chamber, then placing it in a variety of listening rooms and expecting to anticipate the results.

Good luck to all designers!
