I expect that when electronics sound different, there is a measurable reason for it.
Perhaps, but you'll never find why in the data presented by Stereophile, Audio, Soundstage, Audioholics, etc.
Of course reviewers develop preferences for audio equipment!
I'll respond again to your previous comment:
I can listen to equipment to form preferences. I don't need you or some reviewer to do it for me.
Of course you don't need help forming preferences. We aleady have preferences as individuals. Why on earth do you think reviewers attempt to mold your preferences? They tell you what they observe in light of their own preferences.
What about speakers and lists Recommended Component?
They are a reflection of their favorites based upon recently reviewed gear.
On the other hand, a good set of measurements is more reliable.
Reliable for perhaps a few basic characteristics that you hear immediately anyway. But they provide little insight to important characteristics like imaging, coherency, balance, etc.
I was very impressed with them as they seemed to me to be among the finest speakers I had ever heard (you don't have to agree).
Why should I disagree as your experience? On the other hand, I find it sad that the best you've heard is some little boxes. Those create a lifelike image to you? Mind you, I have some mini-monitors in both the HT and in a bedroom system. They sound nice, but severely lack scale.
You mean like Julian Hirsch did? LOL
Julian Hirsch? His hearing acuity is the same today as it was thirty years ago.
And of course, there is a certain cachet to having speakers given a Class A, limited LF extension, rating by Stereophile.
As for me, I couldn't care less!
