ABS: What Is The Trouble With Measurements.


Found this interesting and puts some things in perspective.

I know this can be a very emotional topic here and I see it as relevant. 

Measurements do play a part in my decision process.

The LRS measures badly - and sounds bad!  Contrary to what the Magnepan fanboys claim. Can't afford to speak the truth and offend an advertiser! Check out the test and listening results on ASR.

All speakers are imperfect and deserve to be measured. Subjective listening alone is not enough! In fact, measuring identifies the problem areas and then DSP can  be used to correct frequency response flaws, resulting in much improved sound.

Subjective assessment is the highest form of discrimination and is highly dependent on the intrinsic capacity for acute and gifted discernment of the observer.

Because the measurement technique they use isn't able to measure dipoles.
