In Reply to: Speaker measurements vs Subjective Reviews... posted by mkuller on February 20, 2007 at 16:20:53:
The Stereophile measurements are always linked to a written review. If you mean would I make an extra effort to hear a speaker based only on some numbers published by its manufacturer, probably not. What makes the Stereophile numbers useful, to the extent they are, is that they aim for consistency across measurements. If I have a wimpy amp, for example, I might use the Stereophile measurements as a quick way to exclude speakers that want lots of power.Look, all of us here are subjectivists in the sense that we *hear* differences that matter to us and that's why we buy this stuff rather than getting some Bose cubes and calling it a day. None of us got into this because we stumbled across a flat response curve or a wicked-looking waterfall plot and said gotta have that, cost no object. Some of us *are* geeky enough that measurements entertain us, inform us, and may help us think about what's out there. But there's no great divide there, and your efforts to frame questions to elicit one approach trolling.
