I feel you misunderstand my questions. I have never questioned the Klippel rig. Not once, not ever.
I worked directly with Floyd Toole for 10 years in the research group at Harman international. The physics on acoustics is not an exclusive set of data. Anyone can study it and/or work utilizing it. What you are doing is not "audio science" but "audio consensus". I simply wanted to know about Amirs test set-up. That is a reasonable question. It is not a challenge. It is simply a question. If you are treating people in this group in such a manner, then it is simply a cult like adherence to a guru and not the physics of acoustics and electronics. If asking questions is considered inappropriate in this forum then you are not in search of better sound or science. You are just am exclusive club that belittles all those that attempt to have any conversation with you about the process. I was simply curious.
And I feel you misunderstand me - I don't mind you asking questions, nor challenge you asking them. However, some of what you are asking has been answered in this thread and those linked previously - and Kali already replied themselves. It's not clear what more you want to know other than a photo. Right now the best thing we can do is wait and see until another unit is in for testing, and kali provides its own data as promised. That's all I was saying.
EDIT: To be clear, and for what it's worth, I also think the most likely explanation is that there was something wrong with Amir's unit, because the measurements don't make sense based on what we know about Kali - and Kali themselves said the measurements do not agree with their own (here's Kali's post if you're curious, and here's Mr Sprinkle's). So something is wrong.
But Amir's measurements closely track other available anechoic data for other speakers - none of those units show nearly as much of a discrepancy from expected data as the Kali does. But we won't know until the speaker is remeasured. Right now all we have is the speaker that was presented to Amir.
