flabbergasted with reviews on speakers

I read speaker reviews  as i think they are the personal end of the signal i hear alibiet the source what i think is most important. They are terrible.They give no room size they are listening in.treated or not and what room size they recommend is important. sguare foot please.Ihave purchased speakers to big for my room and now buy down a size from what they say.They audition speakers that from my videos on you tube are placed stacked  against there racks or pushed against wall and cluttered amongs other stereo equipment in a small room i get it .i have been to persons small farm house that had an infiniti stack with 334 levinson monoblocks who bought this on review this was in a 10 x 12 bedroom and was a respected audiogoner! I think we are oversold in this hobby i miss dealers but they have not heard it all review suck look at there rooms they are pathetic.Are speaker sensitivity real or is it to sell more expensive amps.If  first watt is most important why isnt 50 watt tbr  amp enough for an 87 db speaker.

Speaker sensitivity is a very real thing. When my big, rectangular, lumbering monolithic speakers overhear my wife speaking ill of them, they shut down &sound compressed for days. At 200 lbs each they highly impede any force coming at them with most angles unphased.

You're reading sources are flawed--so change them.  And i'm with Mike--learn what you like and why.

As a manufacturer or audio components (we don't offer speakers for sale), we get to hear and pair speakers with our equipment.  We also have to adjust to the speaker as you cannot just get the best sound out of a speaker just because the equipment is reference quality.  While high efficient speakers don't require that much power, paring the right amp surely makes a big difference.

Reviews are only part of the answer.  They should be sued for someone to get a flavor of what a speaker can sound like and to narrow down a choice or preference.  IMO you just cannot listen to a you tube video and pick out a speaker that will work in your system.

 

We have a listening room in Northern New Jersey which we are now using to help people understand how a speaker will perform with various amplifiers, etc.

 

Happy Listening.
