RE: Don't bring up the word "professional" to Americans...

I dunno there are plenty of 15 year olds who can do a lot of things better than 40-60 year olds.

If you can't hear 14khz and the speaker has an issue at 14khz - I don't care how much experience the reviewer has - he is going to miss it. The 15 year old girl likely won't.

And since I rarely agree with about 90% of the reviewers out there as to what they think is good it's not exactly like there is any real science based preference here or Art Dudley and Michael Fremer would not have polar opposite stereo systems. Both are VERY "experienced" reviewers who hear it and/or value it very differently. Who is right?

This is the problem - everything gets a good review from all us 40+ year olds so from a reader's perspective the value of the reviews get watered down. Having a few classically trained musician teens listening in as a check might not be such a bad idea.
