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.

The measurements are meaningless unless everybody does 'em. What speakers are they?
Usually they are meaningless to those that can't comprehend them, and they serve to tell one what amp/s would go well with them as well.

No, it can never be a "good discussion" with kenjit. Read some of his previous posts over the last few months and you will get the idea.
Everyone knows he's trolling so when covid boredom takes over it passes the time. DSP is not cheating you dingbat it's the best way to do crossovers,   technology marches on.
how do we know youre not trolling djones51? where is the proof? 
You dont know what i have. Maybe i have a Magico in my house? you know nothing. DSP is not used by 99% of high end speakers. 

The genelecs are bad speakers. Very bad. I have heard them. Nobody on here shares your enthusiasm for them. They are never mentioned on here. They are studio speakers. Everybody knows studio speakers sound bad. Ever heard a yamaha ns10? They are shockingly BAD
