I have a question about the Genelec measurements that Amir makes. Maybe Amir or one of the forum gurus who is familiar with Amir's procedure can answer.
Are the speaker measurements, for instance the recent 8361 post, just done with the analog input to the speaker? Which would mean there is no indication about the performance of the DAC. And what about the performance of the internal amplifier?
Is it just assumed that if the speaker measures well that the amplifier is also top-notch? Should there not be a SINAD measurement for amp and dac?
I am in no way questioning the accuracy of the speaker measurement, just curious about how the amp and dac fit in to the equation.
This question may have been answered elsewhere and if so I apologize. I read many of the Genelec posts but could not find reference for this question.
Thanks to any who can answer. I am considering a Genelec upgrade to my 5.1 system (currently Revel 208/105/205).
