Even though speaker measurements do not tell the whole story, at least it is better than all hyperbole you get from some manf.

With the cooperation of Canada's National Research Council (NRC), in the year 2000 the SoundStage! Network began measuring and publishing objective measurements of loudspeaker products -- a first for online publications.
The NRC's legacy of producing accurate loudspeaker measurements goes back decades. Literally thousands of speakers have been measured in their facilities since the '70s, and they are one of the few facilities in the world with the resources and expertise to conduct such tests.
The NRC facilities have, of course, been continually upgraded and today it's a state-of-the-art laboratory that includes an anechoic chamber, reference-grade test equipment, experienced staff, and a standardized process that is used consistently for all products. The end result are measurements that we feel are a benchmark for the industry, and useful for anyone wishing to obtain accurate, objective data about loudspeaker products.
While I did not look at every speaker on the list, Revel, YG Acoustics, Dynaudio C4, Magico, PSB, Usher, Focal, all seemed to have pretty smooth FR curves. With the caveat that I not an expert, in reading those charts. While the Zu Cable Druid's Frequency response was pretty scary looking to me.
