Why wont speaker companies publish their measurements?


It's not ok to assess the quality of a speaker just by listening to it. Most listeners are not trained. They dont have the skills or knowledge of an expert like me to know what the hell they are listening for. There are too many other variables that affect the sound quality such as room acoustics, source material, amp quality, hearing loss, preference etc. For all these reasons, we MUST rely on speaker measurements ALONE when deciding how good a speaker is. 

The problem is however that the wretched speaker companies WONT DO IT! They just will not publish their measurements. 

Are they embarrassed? Are they hiding it? Do they even have the measurements? Worried they wont match if somebody else does the measurements?

Speaker companies cannot claim that their speaker is superior to a competitors speaker since neither of them will publish their measurements. As a result the claims are uncorroborated HOGWASH. Despite this, there is intense competition among the speaker companies. There is a WAR going on out there and its a war that cannot be won!

The only way to separate the wheat from the chaff is to examine the measurements. Until that happens nobody has the right to claim that one speaker is better than another. Nobody knows which speakers are better than others. Until the day comes when they will publish the data, its all just hearsay and opinions.

If you want to be a first rate audiophile, do not settle for anything less than the TRUTH. We deserve it.

Dill I have had a look at your speakers and I can see that they have a lot of problems that will need to be fixed. I can tell you that there is a lot of distortion going on inside your speakers. You would be shocked. It is very important to have zero distortion speakers Dill. Wood is never a good material to use as it isnt strong enough. Unfortunately your speakers are wooden. The drivers dont look very good either. What are they? 
Don’t know what you’re talking about kenjit, Tekton publishes their speaker measurements. The Moab for example is 14x17x69.
Wrong measurements I’m afraid.
If they did give you the numbers, and they were what you liked, what would you do if the speakers still sounded BAD to you?
They wouldn’t. They would only sound bad if the recording was bad or the acoustics. There are obviously other variables at play
Thats because you are probably looking at the wrong measurements. We are not talking about weight and size.
No, I'm not. Everything from the simple specs to waterfall plots. 
No, I'm not. Everything from the simple specs to waterfall plots.
Have they been verified? Can they be trusted? No they cannot. And what good would it be anyway if only a few companies publish their measurements and nobody else does? You cant compare them if everybody doesnt do it. Dont be so naive
