I am confused. How is "the speakers ability to reproduce the original sound" different from a flat response? Isn't it a consiquence of the flat response, meaning because you have a flat frequency reponse you are not artificially boosting any frequency and therefore are reproducing "the original sound as precisely as possible"?
Now I guess the only situation where this would not be true might be if ALL the frequencies are boosted equally by a speaker so as to give a flat response, but flat in the "wrong place" if you know what I mean. I am skeptical there are many speakers out there like this, though I am still not sure this would be an issue if it truly boosted all the frequencies equally (and not just like pushing all the sliders up on a multiband EQ which does not do the same thing if my memory servs me).
Anyway, my point is that for any realistic discussion of modern speakers, I think that if it has a flat frequiency reponse it will be accurate.
