What tests would you like all speaker reviewers to do for their reviews?
What qualitative or quantitative tests do you think should be performed regularly on all speakers? Maybe like “how fatiguing is it with certain gear and cables?”
John Atkinson of Stereophile does the best quantitative testing of speakers! Unlike electronics speakers have not evolved to the point where they can hide their flaws from careful measurements!
I’d like to see an impedance graph that covers the entire frequency range. This “Nominal Impedance” number that’s commonly quoted is next to useless IMO, and impedance levels and frequencies are critical to know in choosing the proper amp.
Exactly @tomic601. Danny Richie performs those tests on all the loudspeakers he gets in (and has designed and offered as kits), and displays the results in his GR Research YouTube videos. Very illuminating!
