You seem to think it's an 'either-or' rather than a 'both' methodology. Actually, I do want a reviewer to be able to give a good idea of how the equipment performs, and this goes for speakers, too. Sorry if that offends some. Harry Pearson could not do this. With Stereophile, often the reviewers and the measurers are not the same people
But I really don't need a reviewer to tell me how equipment sounds, as I can determine that for myself by listening to it. That includes auditioning at home with return privileges. Isn't that what audiophiles recommend?
I would never buy a speaker without auditioning it extensively.
