Perhaps I didn't phrase my question correctly. I'm aware they're different, but I'm wondering what specific differences about the measuring systems would cause different measurements. Saying, "They're different, therefore they will produce different results." is a bit vague and not always true. Surely one system is more accurate than the other, at least in specific cases if not overall. Of course, maybe this question can't be adequately answered.
It's hard to say which FR graph my Paradox more closely resembles to my ears. Tyll's graphs show a nice, smooth roll-off past 200-300Hz. When I ran some sine sweeps on my Paradox, they sounded fairly flat. However, roll offs like that are really hard to hear with sine sweeps. I also don't remember hearing such a pronounced dip at 5KHz and a sharp treble spike after. Could be wrong...might have to check that again. Dips might not be obvious while listening to music, but they certainly are with sine sweeps.
Oh well. They sound great either way!
You answered the question yourself. Very different measurement systems. As for which is more accurate....I don't know. When you listen to headphones, which FR does it most sound like?
