Re: Measurements/Subjective Reviews

Good questions.

"1. Do you read the measurements section?"

Yes


"2. If the measurements section is critical, and the subjective review is highly complementary, how do you respond? Do you dismiss the measurements? Dismiss the subjective review? Weigh them both? Dismiss them both?"

It depends on what the measurements indicate on the one hand and who the reviewer is and what he has written on the other. I'm afraid that with a very small number of exceptions (eg. John Marks, Michael Fremer, John Atkinson, maybe a few others) I have litle respect for what the Stereophile reviewers write. So usually when in doubt the mesurements will carry the day for me. But not always.
