RE: Note that JA

Yes, anechoic chambers are flawed I know some people might not believe it, but it is true.

Ok, but my link was to his approach to measuring speakers in typical environments.

But when old speakers that predate modern design methods are measured with modern equipment and checked for things like step response, impulse response, phase, filter response, group delay, they are 100% accurate.

Perhaps, but popular 70s era three way JBL monitors like the 4310/4311 were flawed in terms of uniform radiation. They ran the 5" midrange a good octave higher (6k or 2.3" wl) than optimum for good dispersion with that sized piston. Created weird funhouse mirror image effect in the upper midrange/lower top. Later fixed with the LSR6332 at 2.2k.

*Like* last paragraph. :)
