So....I am confused by this. Aren't these the guys that say measurements don't matter etc?
They also had an APx555 to measure their electronics and still some really bad measuring DACs came out... So not sure what this will accomplish.
OTOH I know other manufacturers with no Klippel NFS that got out excellent measuring speakers using simpler measuring tools. Goes to show that intent is what matters!

Erin had measured the FR5 and FR10 and got it loan by PS Audio, so they obviously had interest in the results.

All the gear and no idea? Obviously you have to know how to use the equipment, how to interpret the results and how to modify the design (that might be the hard part!).
Your point about simpler measuring tools is well made. I don’t believe that KEF has a Klippel but their loudspeakers are pretty good.

Congrats @Chris Brunhaver ! 
Chris gave us the scoop a month and a half agoCongrats @Chris Brunhaver !
PS Audio sent Erin their speaker??!!
I submit to you that "more revealing" or "more detailed" would be the result of one of three possible causes: a)entirely imagined by the listener, and due to more attention focus on the material or simply expectation. b)differing frequency response at the listening position, the result of...

The good news here is that the subjective world is slowly learning that the objective world can no longer be completely ignored if they want to be successful going forward.
IMHO It's wonderful how times have changed in audio over the last 10+ years.

OK, I will admit that I am old, but whenever I see or hear the word "influencer", this thought occurs to me. For every influencer, there are probably dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of "influencees". I try and try to come up with a synonym for "influencees" and the best I can come up with is "sheep" or possibly "lemmings". The whole concept boggles my aging (but still functioning) mind.

Imagine having state of the art lab equipment at your disposal, but some senior's ears have final say over your design
Nightmare scenario for any serious engineer.
"Followers" ? But lemmings is good too IMHO.

You're confusing instruments, which are art, with speakers and electronics, which are tools.It is 1716, and Antonio Stradivari’s violin is rejected because it did not measure well enough.
You can't build "some of the best speakers there are" without the proper SOTA tools to do so.
Uh huh.All I'm saying is didn't miss the beauty and emotion because you're busy staring at a computer screen.

If you're admiring a speaker's/Amp's/Converter's beauty and emotion, then you've truly lost the plot and I wish you a speedy resipiscence.All I'm saying is didn't miss the beauty and emotion because you're busy staring at a computer screen.
