Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?

@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.  

@bigkidz if you manufacturer hi-fi components...you would notice if the response of an active component was +/- 3dB. Having said that, I have never heard of a component that creates such large frequency response errors....maybe a tube amp with a very low damping factor trying to drive Magnepans would create some big response errors. ;-) 

@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..

The graph, response, etc of a review has always bored me to tears.  I don’t care about them at all.

If a review went from specs to the conclusion, I’d be ok with that.

As the the Tekton lawsuit…what a weenie!  Reviewers should tell it as they hear it or graph it, without fear of being sued.

Thank you for making my point. The variables will be a lot and, again, that will change once that speaker is in my room. Therefore, if you want to post anechoic measurements or from your back yard I don't care. That's not going to tell me how it sounds in my room. Most people don't have a dedicated room so chances are the room and placement will have more to do with the sound which is why I don't pay attention to ASR of Erins measurements. I have yet to understand why people put so much stock into that as well as reviews.
