| Re: desirability of flat FR in speaker design???
Personally, I would agree that a reasonably flat frequency response is a good starting point. If there are big peaks and valleys that accentuate and detract from the original recording, there's something wrong. Of course, and it seems like you're stating this, a flat FR doesn't tell the whole story. There are so many other factors that go into getting a sound that's pleasing to you, that you can't rely solely on FR.
You might ask them what their "limits" on FR deviations would be. Would they accept flat +/- 3d B? +/-10 dB? 20 dB?
