Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?

So, we're back to needing permission before making public comment about a product.   Would love to have a list of those other companies that have threatened or instigated litigation over an unwanted audio review.

I think I've said what I have to say.

@botrytis I know this and even stated this. Please see my statement below.

in this specific case Erin did notify Eric that he was reviewing his product, to make sure he had the correct listening axis.

@mlsstl I didn't use the words "needing permission." You did...creating a strawman argument.

I wrote "didn't have permission" which is a fact and not a value judgement.  

"without his permission" was your wording, not mine, from the opening post.  You should wear it with pride!

I ran into a situation with needing a speaker frequency response, but the maker wasn't comfortable with providing me with one for basically a lot of the reasons many have listed here: people not really knowing what they are looking at, not really knowing what they are listening to, nor really knowing what their room is doing...and 'not knowing' also means not truly objectively educated understanding. 

I don't know what Tekton is dealing with specifically, but I would bet that the frequency response of the reviewers, if 90% accurate to the 'voicing' of the speaker, is very important to them and "what makes their speaker sound_______________" and may feel proprietary to Tekton.  I would imagine in general audio companies are constantly battling what I would bet the world battles endlessly: everybody knows just enough to blow themselves up....and possibly a manufacturer with 'just enough' information that makes them dangerous.  

Charts are helpful/useful, but people can easily mis-read them, misunderstand them, and make incorrect claims/assumptions about them.  If all things were equal and proper, if you listened to X-speaker in a room specifically set up and treated by the manufacturer that best represented that speaker, and you bought it based on that sound you heard.....then I could see a chart being useful....to help you change YOUR ROOM to get it to better match what the X-speaker did in the manufacturer's room.    In my specific case I wanted the makers frequency response to help illustrate to someone what their room was doing to ruin what they spent thousands of dollars on. 

I know first hand that peoples hearing, and their brain, can over ride nearly anything.  A frequency chart could do the same, without even remotely knowing/understanding objectively what that chart was showing.
