One must blow pretty hard to make any kind of impression on Mr. Nut, who is so set in his biases and misconceptions a hurricane would hardly budge him.Please note that neither Jon Risch nor I said measurements were worthless. However, if that's what you rely on for qualitative judgment of a speaker system, you are more often than not misinformed and mislead by such measurements. My former friends at DGX did so and produced a speaker no one could listen to, but which was cutting-edge in the anechoic measurement department.
What measurements do help? Not the kind you see published, I'm afraid. To me the most revealing test is ultranearfield on the raw driver. After measuring and listening to it I can tell how successful a prototype is, and if I want to pursue a design with it.
There's a lot more I could say, but why wear out my welcome more than I already have?
