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.

I think they have a lot more to publish before the frequency response graph. Honestly it's a mess what they don't publish. Power handling, sensitivity, impedance, crossover frequency, prices, where to buy, decent photos, company info, contact there is so much that's missing

Yes, my speakers came with graphs! For power handling, sensitivity, impedance, crossover frequency, efficiency, directivity, dispersion, power linearity, distortion, ect..😎

Meh.  As a person with 3 measurement mic's in his house, I wouldn't trust the speaker maker's measurements to begin with, and don't think most would interpret them correctly, and what good is a quasi anechoic (or fully anechoic) measurement when it comes to my room?

I'd much rather see off-axis frequency plots as done by Stereophile and others, as well as dynamic range plots.
