Speaker freq. response test with cold war crooner.....( funny)

[Superhet66]

This video is going viral on Youtube. I bet this would sound great on a HiFi tube rig. As cheesy as this is, the guy does have an unreal singing range.

I miss the cold war era sometimes.
At least we had some idea what the boogie man might or might not try.
Now it's just full throttle crazy.

Any way, flash back 1976 Soviet TV!

How would one go about accurately checking the frequency response of a microphone or speaker?  There is no such thing as a speaker with a perfectly flat, smooth response through the entire audible range, and I'm not sure that even a microphone that was claimed to be perfectly flat would actually be. Nearly all speakers and mics have a jagged response, with many peaks and valleys, so I have never figured out anything that could be used as a standard to compare to the test microphone or speaker.

As the ancient Greeks would say, there is simply no accounting for taste.
