He also shared this with me (yes, it is a fuzzy 6k byte file that he sent it to me):

With the text of:
"Next, see the attached image. The Mini Lore is a passive 6 component crossover (two resistors) 94dB sensitivity 8" 2-way loudspeaker with a "showroom" voicing [using your words here]. I'd love to see you do better with less."
You all see what I have been dealing for a month now?
Okay, this is just demented. First, he's representing that this is the speaker's frequency response, which of course it most certainly is not, because how awful would it be if it were? As
@voodooless,
@ROOSKIE , and
@DanielT have noted, this is just the woofer's response, and the raw response of the driver at that, not the driver in the M-Lore enclosure.
I am going to reserve final judgment to see if
@Eric Alexander does in fact post the threatened next YT video with his own measurements to "show that Amir is wrong" - but based on this information, even if Eric Alexander was trying to say that this is just the woofer's response, he seems to believe that this graph of the
driver's raw response is a meaningful measurement of his
speaker. He can't really believe that, can he?
Oh, and BTW,
@amirm 's measurement of the individual drivers inside the speaker corresponds pretty decently to the published raw response of the woofer. The response curves are different of course because one is raw and one is inside the enclosure, but the general correspondence lends further support to the validity of Amir's measurements.
