RE: I'm with Rich on this

I gave him the measurements, he doesn't want to know what they are.

I won't speak for him, but I would never attempt to evaluate the total experience of a speaker system based upon a few metrics such as the ones you provided. I too, would be curious to see a list of those which measure best to correlate that with the far more complex real world test of auditioning them.

Years ago, I heard one of the arguably "best" measuring amplifiers at the time (Halcro) in an exceptional system. They sounded clinical and amusical. If memory serves, the journalist who had them chose not to write a review.
