I don't think that would be legal to post or use them here as they are not offered for free, unless someone gets/buys the rights for them.

+1

Understandable, but it should be possible to use the measurements for computing scores and creating EQ profiles.

Yes but that's a lot of work. Maybe we can reach out to them to ask for the data (not to be published directly)

May be of use, I recently took a bunch of detailed measurements of many of my DIY designs and have been slowly posting the pages with the measurements to my site.

Here is the page where I have them hosted (bottom half).

They should each have a link to a zip file with the polar data exported from VituixCAD.

A few of them have already been added, the three Nexus designs and the two cheap PA speakers (LYX & Rockville) I had also tested.

Nice.

I added :
- AlTi: nice speaker with very good polars and excellent PIR (score: 6.3 and with EQ 6.9)
- SG HT-8: score 2.6 (5.3 with EQ but cost a lot of SPL)
- SG HT-10: score 4.8 (5.9 with EQ, I had to add a lot of them to tame the oscillations)
- SG HT-12: score 4.3 (5.5 with EQ)
- SG HT-12+: score 5.1 (5.7 with EQ) nice speaker too
- VBS-6.2: score 4.2 (4.5 with EQ) bass shy but sg otherwise.
- VBS-10.2: score 5.3 (5.7 with EQ)

Website is under update.

Thanks, it's interesting to see where those fall.

I noticed the contour plots and IsoBands on these (and the Nexus too) have all that data squashed to down ~10khz instead of extending up to 20khz. What would cause that to happen? The remaining graphs seem correctly scaled.

that's a bug. Since it is the n-th bug due to poor support of some kind of graphs in altair, I am switching to plotly. I am 60% done, so far, so food.

New style:

I pushed a completely new version: https://pierreaubert.github.io/spinorama/.

What's new and is visible:
- site load faster esp. the comparator
- more scalable, I can add 1000s of speakers
- beta: 3D view, globeplot view
- comparator is fast
- likely new bugs :(
- should work better on phones

What's new and not visible:
- migrated from vega+altair to plotly : more code run on the frontend ; I could run almost everything on the client.
- removed lots of old javascript libraries and replaced them by Web API or new features from browser: it means old browsers are badly supported. It works fine in Edge, Mozilla, Chrome and Safari.

Feedback welcome here or in on github.

Is there a way to make https://pierreaubert.github.io/spinorama/scores.html more compact or showing which review the score is based off of like how it used to be? :)

The score there can also be clicked on. I'm assuming it's a button meant to take the user to the measurements?

Very nice! I love the new cleaner and finer polar plot!
Something wrong with the normalized polar plot though.
(somehow the angle is shifted I guess?)

Thanks for the wonderful resource Pierre! It's great to have the spin data from many different sources compiled in one place, with the EQ and analysis capability that you've developed.
