As I have written before in these pages, measuring physically large speake<strong>rs</strong> with in-room<br />
quasi-anechoic techniques is in some ways a fruitless task. The usual assumption, that the<br />
measuring microphone is very much farther away than the largest dimension <strong>of</strong> the speaker<br />
being measured, is clearly wrong. Yet without access to a large anechoic chamber costing<br />
many hundreds <strong>of</strong> thous<strong>and</strong>s <strong>of</strong> dolla<strong>rs</strong>, in-room measurement techniques are all we have to<br />
rely on.—John Atkinson<br />
