You may have thought the set of measurements used were the right measurements for speakers.But after you listened to the speakers, you found out those measurements were, at best, not 100% accurate (for your ears), or at worst, were not the right measurements at all to identify speakers you will like in your room.
Of course you are using only one set of ears in one listening room to claim measurements don't always work -- we have to ASSUME most other listeners would have the same opinion, and we have to ASSUME the speakers would sound just as bad in another room (the sound quality description reminds me of Blose Acoustimess Shreikers).
Bad measurements will usually correlate with speakers that sound bad, or are at least colored.
"Good measurements" will usually correlate with good speakers.
But no measurements are perfect.
Measurements may not have perfect correlation with subjective auditions in our own rooms, but they are much better than flipping a coin when it comes to deciding which of hundreds of speaker brands and models we ought to audition before we buy speakers.
