I’m sorry to post this as a separate thread. But I think there may be many like myself, who wonder why speakers are specked at a meter distance. I also want to say that I am not in any way close to engineering, so excuse me.
First, I understand that if we have a single driver or a book shelf speaker, a 1 meter measurement frequency curve may mean something. What I am curious about, is how say a 60 inch tall speaker measurement at 1 meter have true relevance at 5 meter listening level.
Who came up with this? My non-scientific gut tells me floor standing speakers measured at 2-3 nesters would be more relevant. Would appreciate if you can educate me.
