Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?


Eric at Tekton Designs has been battling two different reviewers who have posted measurements without his permission, using Klippel devices for their respective measurements.

It seems to me that if manufactures provide a simple smoothed out graph, consumers can see how much a speaker is editorializing with a frequency response that deviates from neutral.

Yes!  The off-axis information in particular is imo extremely useful.

I WISH John Atkinson did not "normalize" his off-axis curves, as that makes it harder to see the overall picture of what's REALLY going on.  I think that for one or maybe two issues he posted off-axis curves that were NOT normalized to the on-axis curve, but then he went back to posting normalized curves.
