$15,000 Speaker Does Not List Freq Response Specs


.
Am I being too picky here? I came across a speaker mfg that does not list the frequency response specs for their speaker.

I think that may be asking a little too much by a mfg to not list this specification...especially in this price range.

The speakers in question are sold via internet only.
No place to audition them. I wrote to the internet dealer that is selling them online. He said that because of his margins, that he cannot afford to do at-home trials.
..oh well.

Mitch - I believe that Carver sells them direct with a money back trial period, but you'd have to pay for them upfront.

Frequency response stats on a speaker are useless...the number may be listed but only in an anechoic environment. Much of a speaker's sound is how it performs in YOUR room, with your components. If there is no way to listen to it, it must have a generous return policy.
That's true. It's one thing to measure a speaker anechoic, quite another to measure how a given speaker couples to your room. For example, dipoles placed very close to an uneven front wall would be a poor match and likely measure poorly. Similarly rear-ported speakers placed in the same room would likely measure poorly in situ. It's all about finding the right speaker for *your* room and tastes.
Btw, Bob Carver has quite a lot of experience with ribbon drivers & supplied the ribbon midrange panels for the original Genesis 1 speakers. Of course from the G1.1 onwards Gary switched to German Bohlender Graebener RD48 Planar midrange panels.
