I have been measuring loudspeakers this way since I acquired the MLSSA
system in 1989: farfield, quasi-anechoic behavior above 300Hz spliced to
the complex sum of the nearfield outputs below 300Hz. There are reviews
of several hundred loudspeakers that were measured this way in the
review archive at www.stereophile.com.

I bought a pair of the little KEFs following the review in Stereophile
and as I write in the January issue, they deliver almost all of what I
need, other than maximum loudness and extended low frequencies.
