What do you consider the most when choosing a pair of speakers?

@monacousticusa , IMHO if you are not freely giving out full measurements in my mind you are hiding something. That's either you don't have them or there is something wrong with them.  Only to people who audition at shows? I would not even bother with that attitude.

Listening to a speaker anywhere but in my space is a near meaningless venture. The room colors the sound too much.  The measurements tell me far more about how it will behave in my room than an audition ever will outside my house. Most speaker vendors provide inadequate information. That is bad enough. Providing none wastes my time. I won't bother.

IMO the lower midrange is more important than bass and treble in achieving accurate and realistic reproduction, where you hear the realism, especially with acoustic instruments.

Actually ones that measure poorly in a chamber, etc, should also work poorly in your room, or anyone’s room.

Agreed.
