Good read: why comparing specifications is pointless

I am agreeing with "Good read: Why comparing specifications is pointless"

You take Revel or some other good measuring speaker, put it in a room with hard flat surfaces and you don’t need a FR chart to know that it ain’t singing like it could.

What is the point of having a golf swing panther DAC in a headless panther room? You tell me...

The measurements you do on speakers is actually the least useful, see:

Acoustic measurements for our uses are of three principle varieties.

1. • To measure the acoustic response of a loudspeaker, usually exclusive of the environment. (this is ASR)
2. • To measure the acoustic sound field in a room, usually inclusive of the response of the loudspeaker. (this is my point in the above post)
3. • To measure the noise level in a space.

The first two are closely related measures since room response and loudspeaker response are tightly coupled. The first measure is by far the most common, but, as we shall see, they are usually inadequate as an indicator of how the second measure will come out. Of course, what we want is a correct room response

That was the clickbait headline.  You didn't bother reading or understanding the article saying and showing measurements are absolutely useful. It is the difference between useless "specs" and real measurements.

You asked me:

Who are you agreeing with, yourself?

and I answered in my post that followed.

Now you answer my question:

Nope.  They are incredibly useful in predicting listener preference of speakers in room. That is why those measurements are standardized.  And considered critical for speaker design.

As I noted, you absolutely need to measure your room as well.  It is just that the knowledge of what on there requires extreme care.  See for example this article I published on room reflections you talk about:
