The term accurate speakers is surely an oxymoron.No speaker I have heard ever captures the scale and dynamics of the real thing.So how can it be accurate?
The only speakers that come close to real world dynamics are horns and they usually have flaws in other areas such as phasing.
Many dynamic speaker owners claim that their speakers are accurate but if these people have use of a good pair of electrostats for a couple of weeks and and then return to their speakers they will usually be amazed by the box and cone colourations of their speakers.
Most of us get used to a certain sound and then come to believe this is accurate.Any similar sounding speakers we also label accurate.So it is a silly term and completely subjective.Their are also cultural biases involved.
