Really nice resource. Thanks for this.

Just added a bunch of audio-related calculators to the first post.

For measurement tools, I use the excellent Virtins Multi Instrument
https://www.virtins.com/multi-instrument.shtml

More limited in scooe but way simpler to use is https://www.hpw-works.com/

Audiifanzine.fr is a well known resource for musicians.
Sometimes, you see an AP measurement in a review.

I made it through about a dozen of the hifinews lab reports, and the measurements, albeit limited to on axis plots, seem to be consistently less flattering than on other sites, including ASR.

Here's one for the Revel Performa F228Be

Perhaps they're shooting these with the grills on? If so, their waterfall plots would be pretty meaningless. So I dunno. Here's the SVS Prime Pinnacle

And the Focal Chora 826

I think this should be posted to its own thread with a description of the project. It looks interesting at first glance.

Just one not-so-important issue, electronics review entries functioning as links to particular ASR reviews but not so with speakers?

Do you mean in the dashboard here? https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?pages/Audio_Equipment_Reviews/

yes, at "Speaker Review and Measurement Index", not a big issue of course, I'm only curious if its intentional or some tableau thing..

MSO (Multi-Sub Optimizer) https://www.andyc.diy-audio-engineering.org/mso/html/ is a free subwoofer optimization program (Windows only) that provides results comparable to Dirac Live Bass Control and Harman SFM as far as flatness and seat to seat variation. EQ, level and, delay settings can be input into various DSP units and software. Really useful IMO.

I'm the in middle of reworking the material in the first and second posts into a Google sheet. I created tiers from 1 to 4 based on usefulness. Some sites I'm more familiar with that others, so I would appreciate comments about whether or not the ranking is fair.

Edit: See post 1 for the link.

Finished the update. 106 unique main databases and review sites with measurements listed and ranked.

Great Stuff!

Slight reorganization. Main list holds only audio measurement databases (119 unique so far).

Other databases, with measurements or not, were moved to the second list.

I use https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?pages/Audio_Equipment_Reviews/ often.
In the past all entries had a link to Amirs reviews.
I don't see them anymore.
What am I missing? Overlook something?

Not sure. That's the right link.
