First post, although I have been reading articles here for some years. Interesting and informative site. I have a question regarding speakers and measurements.
Preamble to question: I had a pair of speakers for some years, lets call them speakers A. I used them for music as well as television, so they got a lot of use. I thought they were great, but little did I know until I retired them for speakers B. Upon speakers B becoming my daily driver, my ears no longer hurt. that's when I realized that speakers A were actually terrible. I knew my ears had been hurting, but was in denial that it was those great speakers.
My question is, in measuring speakers is there a way to identify speakers that will or will not cause listening fatigue and ones ears to hurt. If you had my speakers A, and speakers B, via measuring, could you tell which pair was causing my ears to hurt based on measurements?
