In Reply to: Why audio reviews are meaningless, though maybe fun to read posted by abajaj11 on May 19, 2004 at 07:21:44:
A good reviewer will work hard to get the most performance out of a loudspeaker, using a number of different amps and moving them around the room for best placement. When I was reviewing, I would try to hear a loudspeaker in at least two different rooms (sometimes the local dealer would be the second) and with a least three different amps (one tubed). If the reviewer is doing his job, the review should reflect pretty accurately the sonic signature of the speaker - what you will hear under similar circumstances. Entertainment value is important but not as important as care and accuracy IMO.Even having said all that anyone who purchases a product based on a review, without auditioning the product at length, and preferably in their own system and room - well, is foolish. Reviews should be used as guides to add or eliminate products to your list to audition.
Regards,
Mike
