I admire your spirit, Peter.Yes I understand that Andromedaaudio, and Atkins illustrates that very thing in his sidebar.
My point was simple. Here are your own words: "Audio should be about listening pleasure not about proving a point". You seem very eager to prove a point by linking to Stereophile measurement section about a specific horn speaker example, and then state that it is a fact. That looks like a proof to me. With this "fact", you seem to imply that listening pleasure will not happen with a horn speaker that measure like that. I might agree with that implication, but you are still trying to prove a point, when audio should really be about listening pleasure. A minority of members here actually enjoy the horn/set approach to audio and are certainly having lots of pleasure. And if you follow the posting, you will see the people are really talking about very specific horn speakers and amplifier pairings. Just like with other speaker types, the discussion doesn’t seem to be in general terms but about specific examples.
I don’t see turntable manufacturers posting links to measurements for competing turntables. Same with electronics and cable manufacturers. I think that would really shake things up.
Live Music, Tone, and Presence: What most systems get wrong. This is a nice thread topic from Brad. The title does not say anything about horn based systems.
Sometimes one has to admit that any further discussion is pointless.
