An excellent lecture held at UCSD adresses the difficulties of measuring distortion and relate it to perceived sound quality can be found here

The reason for adressing this issue is that from an engineering standpoint I can not believe why most manufacturers fail to provide even the simplest of distortion parameters. Many so called high-end HiFi manufacturers go on and on about what space-age materials they use in their membranes and such but do not publish any numbers to back up their claims for superior sound quality. True - music and sound reproduction is best judged by listening rather than looking at tables or graphs. But if their driver is so damn good - it will show in the specs!
