[QUOTE="xenithon, post: 891316, member: 467"] The problem is that there is no reliable, defined definition of the term "something measures well" when in comes to audio. That is, the link between a measurement and the sound it produces. Thus, they resort to testing audio equipment like they were medical kit or extremely sensitive electrical components, where you are aiming for flat everything - because that is the requirement. Those types of requirements have, for the most part, not been defined in the world of audiophilia. I say "for the most part" as there are some interesting attempts - take for example the Harman target response curve. It is not ruler flat, at all. Yet it is often strived for in terms of creating the most natural sound, even for use in studios. The types of measurements used these days and on that site? It's like using the Scoville scale to measure chocolate mousse. [/QUOTE]
