    An anechoic chamber isn't somewhere you want to listen to speakers in.

    100% correct. Being in one is an unnatural experience, creepy really.

    I was “unlucky” enough to get an opportunity to listen to car speakers in one, decades ago at work. Yes, an extremely weird experience.

    All the top speaker companies use them during the design phase.
    Some high end companies match speakers in pairs using the chamber.

    Theoretical:

    Speaker 1 Has a ring radiator tweeter, XX Mid, and XX woofer

    Speaker 2 Has a soft dome tweeter, XX Mid, and XX woofer

    When tested and measured that measure exactly the same....do they sound the same?

    Yes, if listened to in an anechoic chamber, so any room interaction is negated.
    In my entire life, I have yet to see two listening rooms the same. The same speakers will sound different in different rooms.

    For you, a theoretical:

    You have Five Grand of hard earned money to buy brand NEW speakers on the internet!
    They are so new that are no reviews by people yet to taint your opinions, just some measurements.

    Speakers A have excellent measured test results! +/- 1.5 db from 30hz to 20Khz

    Speakers B have a large mid bass hump, a large midrange suckout and very tipped up highs and various cabinet resonances. +/- 6 db from 30hz to 20Khz.

    Which ones would you buy for $5,000.?

    Really, you can hear the difference in the same room with the same equipment. An anechoic chamber isn't somewhere you want to listen to speakers in. You need to experience more and read about measurements less.

    Agree with the anechoic chamber. It ain't right, just good for measurements.

    On the other end of the spectrum.... wanna hear how good your speakers really are, listen to them outdoors in the open, with nothing around them.

    Yeah, the outdoor chamber!! No room reflections or interactions...

    Depends on which speaker sounds best in my room.
