Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?

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.

That is precisely the point. Why do you need to look at 911 specs? We all knowit is a great car.

Stop comparing muscle cars and "high end" audio. Fooling someone with cars is a lot harder to do.

Junk sound gets priced at 100k quite easy.

This has to be the greatest video ever made 😁

I have never been able to discern the voicing of a speaker from performance specs.  

Heck, even the humidity levels in my room change the sound. Let alone all the other variables. 

I have concluded that performance specs are for bench racing. 

I couldn't care less, simply because their measurements aren't in my room which is always vastly different. I also don't put much stock into the tech specs which tend to be off as well. 

So if they or ASR wants to post frequency curves that's fine, neither will tell me what they measure in my room.  

They should at least make them available upon request.
