thanks!
the main problem is that the measurements are calculated at high volume, while i listen at low volumes, and that changes everything.
for example, polk audio es20 got great review here, but i found people saying that on low volumes it sound muffled.
on dac & amps, measurements tells you most of the story. i mean, there's high correlation between measurements and subjective listening (and that's why i bought topping D50s and fosi audio bt20a, based on the reviews here).
but i think that for speakers, measurements are less important. even Amir wrote of few speakers measurements (i think triangle comete was one of those) that the measurements were mediocre, but sounded good.
that's why i'm asking here people that have those speakers, to get the reviews.
