Not trying to be a dick but most people (me) have a pretty clear preference. I get it cause they are getting money they don’t want to say. Darkos probably big enough this is his full time job so I get it and can’t piss anyone off too much. But still.
A very good review but it points out the elephant in the room... Speakers vs. Headphones. Headphones will reveal tiny things that speakers from 10 ft away will never or rarely reveal. How I translate his nuances into my system seems a far reach. Same with review sites that emphasize measurements. That relevance kind of went out with Stereo Review. Not knocking the info but after 50 years as an audiophile it doesn't get any easier selecting new equipment.
Differences were stated with different system combos which is a very useful way to do it….keeping personal preferences mostly out of it. That might help explain why different people will have different choices. I could care less about what someone else prefers. I want to choose based on what I am most likely to prefer given my setup. Others may well choose different based on the review. That’s one of the reasons I thought the review was well done and useful…..does not assume everyone will have the same preferences…..good call!
I get it. There were comparisons I get it. I would rather hear someone go a step further, say one aligns more with my preferences cause I like….. this… and this is why?
I dunno just seems by the books to me for a reviewer . Not saying Darko is a bad one.
