even , I'd opine, if they are not synonomyous with performance in an actual acoustic space.A set of measurements conducted in a repeatable manner with calibrated/standardized equipment can result in a databse that can be correlated against one's listening prefrence. Once one knows how one's preferences map onto objective data, the data should have considerable power to help one identify loudspeakers that one probably would like based on the characteristics of loudspeakers that one does like . That's really important, I'd suggest, in the modern ;) era, when most of us don't have ready access to brick & mortar hifi stores to listen before plunking down coin o' the realm to purchase a pair of loudspeakers. Most of us nowadays sort of have to buy "sound unheard". I think some quantitative notion of what we like helps buy down risk in a "blind" -- or is it "deaf" ;) -- purchase.
I believe that this is, in essence, the idea behind the "Harman Target Curve", although in that case, the "target" isn't an individual's preference, but some sort of statistically informed estimate of most folks' preference .
Thanks to Canada' National Research Council, there is a large database of quantitative data on many different loudspeakers available via one-stop shopping, too! See link below.
all the best,
