Stupid speaker test question...please help a n00b


Why aren't speakers tested by measuring the output sound waves vs the input wave signals? Would this not be the easiest way of testing distortion introduced by the speaker? Assuming you control all the other parameters of the test of course...

Thanks for the help!

See, I'm convinced I'm an audio neanderthal. I've been into this hobby for over 30 yrs and have NEVER checked a single spec or chart! Always skipped right over any and all tech info in reviews. Did it all by ear baby! Must be why I've got a tube-based system!!;)
