Not sure how you define "bashing". When someone asks a question about how something sounds, is built, etc., it opens up for both positive and negitive responses. No person has looked and auditioned every single piece and no 2 persons have the same experiences. Also, different persons have different levels of systems, exectations, etc. In other words we comprise a community of individuals with differing levels of knowledge and experiences. For someone used to Yorx may think an Akai is really the cat's meow while someone who has had 30 years with McIntosh, Audio Research, Krell, Magnum Dynalab, etc. will most likely consider it no better or only very slightly better than the Yorx.Also, to consider is the leves://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&rm=false&continue=http://mail.google.com/mail?ui=html&zy=l<mpl=yj_blanco<mplcache=2&hl=el of expectation. The Yorx owner would have an expectation the Akai should sound better and that expectation would probably be realized while the high end owner would have no expecttion it would sound decent and he too probably be realized. SO to 1 it will sound wonderful and for the other it will sound poorly.
The surprises usally come when the expectation is low and the result is that it unit exceds expectation. For instance, based on many owners' reports my expectations for a H-K 630 was pretty high. It failed expectations in that my Philips and Sonys bettered it. I then had a low expectation as to the power amp section that could be separated but I was absolutely amazed how it sounded and keep the receiver ONLY for the amp. Subbing a preamp for the preamp in the receiver showed how poor the preamp section is while the tuner is not too shabby. If someone asked about the 630, I'd pan it while others would praise it. I would though, also discuss the subbing of the preamp and what I found good as to the amp.
