Measurements have to be interpreted correctly to be useful. They are quick and repeatable, if not always relevant. Listening tests are usually relevant but they are very time consuming and may give unreliable results unless a suitable collection of reference recordings are used. A combination of measurement and listening can be an effective way to select components and set up a system.
In some cases, components designed to ignore measurements will only sound good until the listener learns to hear their characteristic distortions, which may only appear with certain types of music.
