Not sure if you are agreeing with me or disagreeing, but no matter!:-)
I respect all your posts!
Having built speakers and amp (as a hobby) and tunng them, i find that a speaker that sounds JUST RIGHT in one room may be too bright in another, or with another amp, and so on. Similarly, a source that sounds great with one amp may be too rolled off for another. So the interaction effects :
component-component;
component-room;
component-listener,
room-listener,
room-component-listenerare SO IMPORTANT, that unless you duplicate all of them (assuming the reviewer knew what he was doing in the first place) you are not really going to learn anything. The logical end to this argument, as the astute reader has no doubt surmised, is that one HAS to build one;s own, and tweak for a while, or get someone else to do that for them.
Of course, audio is a lot about "feeling good" as well as hearing well, esp. high end audio. Which explains a lot of what passes for "haute audio" in the high end audio world.
