I'm aware that crossover components can be tightly matched into "pairs" with identical readings (ohm measurements for resistors, etc.) for both the left/right crossovers...
What I can find little information on is the process to match speaker drivers, e.g., measuring a sampling of drivers to get the best matched measurements between the left and right channels (when constructing a left/right pair of speakers)
- Is this worth the effort?
- What would I actually be measuring? (hopefully with a multimeter and not some exotic piece of $$$ equipment) ...Impedance?
- I know some vendors sell "matched driver pairs" so how do they do this and what is important to measure?
Any comments welcome ...Thanks!!!

With the levels of distortion inherent in drivers, is it really worth the effort?
For the money spent on matching, wouldn't it be better spent on better drivers?

I match drivers using a set of metrics based on the measured T/S. The 3 metrics need to fall within +/-3% and the driver sensitivity needs to be within <0.25dB.
