Yep. They've been doing this for many years, and have a good idea of which measurements matter. Certainly not the ones that Amir made.
You can tell a lot more about the behavior of a Maggie by just putting it in a room and measuring at the listening position than you can with the Klippel. It's the only way to get a sense of a dipole's bass and midbass performance, or the only way that doesn't involve some heavy calculations, anyway.
The essence of it, I think, is that Amir was trying to open a can with a bottle opener. He would have done better just to put the speaker in a living room and measure it with a $70 measurement mic. There are so many reasons why his approach doesn't work that I can't list them here.
