Flat Responsive Speakers

Are there any speakers out there that are flat in frequency response?
Lets say from 20hz-20khz? or perhaps not so low yet flat across the board?
I would think a speaker worth $20,000 and up can do this?

    answering my own question

    This is pretty darn good for a $12,500 speaker
    but I doubt there is a perfect flat anywhere out there

    Response has lots to do with room acoustics; I bet that to get the chart above (in room) they had to make lots of tests, add room treatments, re-test, etc until they got that chart; move the same speakers to a differnt room and the response is gone....

    That's about the flattest I've seen of any speaker. I like my freq. response a little more voluptuous.

    ^ hehe yah likewise.

    The question is does flat equal neutral? If so then count me out, i like bright open high frequencies! Thats why I prefer Jmlab/Focal to say B&W, dynaudio, etc...

    I agree any waveforms made by a company of their own product cannot be trusted. I would take that graph as you do with a grain of salt.

    That graph is deceptive as someone just pointed out to me
    because of the gain used in the waveform morphology
    (I evaluate waveforms everyday at work, duh)
    its like zooming out so you see little variance in frequecy gain strength, I should have seen it but didn't.

    $219 a pair monitors, flat 200-20Khz (actually only about 3db of variance down to 50Hz)

    Lol Russ! kind of throws a wrench into the vr measurments :eek:

    that uses the same gains as the VR speakers
