The measurement below was on the Home Theater and Hi Fi web page. I'm just curious if the measurement method they describe has any validity. Would a Klippel generally agree?



We took three measurements of the pair of Premier V2 820F speakers with the subwoofer removed from the equation. The first measurements were taken at a close mic position of the port, woofer, midrange, and tweeter in order to eliminate the effect of the room. The results from all four were then averaged, and the results can be seen here.

No, that is not a substitute for NFS data.

Close-mic measurements miss cabinet interaction, and interaction with other drivers.

Plus, we don't know how they aligned the individual driver response levels to create their frequency response.
