Come on now...

Perhaps, like some pro reviewers, it would have been nice to see the negatives with this particular speaker... But he didn't claim them to be as good, or better, than the "similar products" he listed; in fact, the "similar products" were merely listed and didn't figure into the review at all.

I've heard various incarnations of the 600 series 2 and 3 speakers over the years, and his review did indeed describe the sound of the 604's as I remember them. Lots of bass, they need room around them, and the mids/vocals are quite good. Negatives of the 600 series that I've found is muddiness of detail (box resonance?), boxy sound, soundstaging is ok, and much more congested sounding than the higher products. But just because they're not expensive doesn't mean they're not good, and they may very well be just what most people need, if you're not chasing that last bit of hifi sound. They do indeed make music.

In fact, I think the largest error of this review, and almost ALL reviews on AA is no one points out the negatives. No speaker/component is perfect. The question is, are you a good enough reviewer to note the negatives? Most people who part with their own money are not. But that's not a fault of this review only. Give him a break.
