Ok Jon, all that being said, which measurements do YOU consider to be of great importance to a speaker design? Is power response a more reasonable measurement than on-axis FR response. Cone and cabinet resonances? The onset of thermal and/or dynamic compression, phase shift, harmonic distortion? Having designed several pairs of speakers on an amateur level, I have some idea what these measurements mean and how they interact. As a professional what should we be looking for in measurements and which ones are not being shown that would be important?One of my biggest disappointments with box speakers (and why I have exclusively planar speakers now) is the colorations from the drivers and especially cabinets. IMO, these outweigh FR (unless it is simply a horrid response) because they are not constants so the brain has no chance to filter these things out. Its there, then its not, depending on whether the resonance is excited. At least FR is pretty constant (with in a reasonable volume level).
Another one that gets me is high order filters with multiple drivers all of different materials. Talk about hearing each driver!! The worst case of this for me was the B&W N802. You have Carbon fiber woofers, Kevlar mid, and aluminum tweeter. All have breakup modes that are audible and very sharp filters so transitions of instruments between drivers are painfully obvious.
