Yep, because most engineers aren't audiophiles, and wouldn't know what a soundstage even is. This is a pointless argument to continue. You're telling me that numbers are everything, good numbers = good sound, and that if there is to be a difference in sound, it must show up in some measurement that an engineer will understand.
I'm telling you that your wrong. A speaker designed purely on anechoic chamber measurements is just as likely to sound bad as it is good. In order to guarantee a good sounding speaker, you MUST actually listen to it. You have to put the machines down for a minute and actually listen to the sound it produces. Same goes for everything else in audio.
I'm done with this crap.
