Descriptions of sound system sounds are awkward at best. Look at all this as light entertainment.

I look at all this as glossy marketing literature.
In the past, magazines that didn't take advertisements had a clear mission to either educate or entertain.

... either went broke or started taking ads, or both.
The exceptions are vanishingly few.
That being so, Who needs them?

Actually, quite a few of us do. Not as many as in pre-Internet days, but enough.
Yeh, in the past.
Magazines without ads in niche hobbies suffer one of the following fates
1-the publishers get sick of losing money and fold
2-they charge astronomical subscription prices to subside the lack of ad revenue and either fold from tiny sub numbers, or publish a few issues a year that a few hundred people read.
Folks in this hobby talk a good game, but they want free or dirt cheap content. Ask them to subsidize an ad free review mag and you will hear crickets chirp and not a single wallet will come out of the back pocket.
They would rather pay 10 bucks for Stereophile and whine and complain about the content and how biased the content is.
No way to win for review mags.
