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.

@seanheis1 - I am not sure what the graph will tell you.  You may know more than I do in that regard.  BUT in manufacturing equipment, I guess I can tailor components to produce the sound I prefer.  I am not convinced that you can tell from a graph what the overall sound will produce.  Maybe an emphasis but not the overall sound.  Magico speakers use computer modeling I think and they changed the way that model works recently so who knows.  Vandersteen uses more of his ears to design and finalize what those speakers sound like.  I can only go by our experience on what we have heard, modified and repaired which has been a lot over the years.

Happy Listening.  

@seanheis1 Maybe.  I am always up to learn new things.  If you are ever in New Jersey, shoot me a message and swing by,  We should be at Audio Connection in Verona real soon with our 6SN7 tube preamp and 6SN7 hybrid power amplifier.

Always, Happy Listening..
