Which is why objective measurements are so important

Posted by Brian H P on April 15, 2019 at 12:33:16:
From the on and off axis curves you can at least get a sense of the speaker's overall tonal balance and dispersion, and infer (or calculate) from that how it might interact, in a given position, with a room of given dimensions. From broadband sensitivity and electrical impedance/phase, you can ascertain amplification requirements.

The measurement I would really like to see would be the response AT the reviewer's listening position, IN the reviewer's listening room, WITH the reviewer's choice of amplification. That would be the only way to reliably correlate the reviewer's subjective opinion with what is actually being presented to his ears.
