Daveyf, they always choose a fanboy to do the review. Need I say more. I will anyway. Speakers are the most crucial part of your system. If they are not to your liking nothing you can do will make them palatable. You have to listen before you leap. Speakers are getting very expensive. It is worth a trip to see and hear them. It also helps to listen to different types of speakers to get a feel for what you really like. I only like dipole line sources. I don't even bother listening to anything else. For me there are very few instances where a review makes or breaks a buying decision. I read the rags mostly to know what is out there and get updated on anything new. I think the hyperbole you get in many of these reviews is pretty silly as you seem to have noted. You are absolutely right. |
Erik...…….. I am just wondering, is there something specific? I have been a reader of that magazine since the mid 80's , so I am curious. I know that a former reviewer tried to make a profit off of his "demo equipment". While I am sure that they aren't completely innocent, I do think the editor tried to run a tight ship. I'm sorry, I seldom read Kals "Music In the Round" as I have no interest in multi channel so I don't really know much of his reviews. I wasn't trying to start an argument or controversy, I was just curious as to why you had felt that way. Anyways, peace. |
