My friend used to write for an audio magazine, he got all his gear for free and told me that reviews are BS, based on attracting advertising dollars.
The DI’s might have been okay with a solid state amp and for loud music but absolutely not with my tube amp. The Klipsch blew them away and my twenty-five year old Proac Response 3’s were substantially better for what I listen to with my amp but hey, there’s plenty of used Double Impacts available on the used market.
