Does Anyone Measure SINAD of Active Speakers?

[Open Mind Audio]

Curious about this since I have not seen it anywhere, but is it possible to measure the SNR, SINAD and THD of the various components of active speakers?

A speaker like the KEF LS50 Wireless II has a DAC and 3 internal amps. I'd love to know how the DAC and amps measure, independent of the speaker's measurements.

This has been discussed before.

Genelec Measurements

I have a question about the Genelec measurements that Amir makes. Maybe Amir or one of the forum gurus who is familiar with Amir's procedure can answer. Are the speaker measurements, for instance the recent 8361 post, just done with the analog input to the speaker? Which would mean there is no...
