I think Rhbblb1 brings up a good point (and one that *should* be the soul of this thread):
In Hardesty's "Audio Perfectionist" Number 12 2004, he states, "Measured accuracy is required for good sound but measured accuracy alone doesn't guarantee good sound."
Specifically, by "measured accuracy" he includes frequency response, time and phase, dynamic linearity, and settle times.
If measured accuracy isn't the bedrock for speaker performance, then what should be? Are Wilson speakers measurably accurate? How about Maggies? Or Kharmas? Or Lowthers? Does it matter?
