Phil, I would certainly agree that my post was a generalisation. The point I was trying to make is that consumers listening in rooms that have absorbent decoration and can be quite large are not going to be filled with pleasant sound if you use a small studio monitor type speaker. I am sure there are full range studio monitors, but I an sure that the listening experience is often very close to the speakers and in rooms with high reverberation times.
T'other guy. I would assume that most speakers are put together in the first place by a knowledgeable designer who uses a PC programme to select drivers and cross overs and enclosure volume etc. They will almost certainly put together many variations and test these in real listening rooms of varying types to refine the design. How these designs can be represented by over complex measurement i don't know. There are so many variables that I wonder which information is relevant for any particular listening experience. At the end of the day, IMHO, the only way to get a good speaker is to try it in the listening room at home. So in short, no. regards, mike. -- mudlark SB3>CyrusDACX>PreXvs>260A>KEFiQ7 cable Avondale server Kubuntu Feisty Fawn, linkstation for storage.
