RE: Stereophile to review Magnepan!?....

Chances are likely that "audiophiles" who actually bother to read magazines etc are people who care enough to audition the speaker - presumably Magnepan cares about who they choose as dealers and will select those that can properly set them up.

If you have good hearing and reasonably good experience as to what acoustic instruments sound like and the things play music you like in a way you like it - then reviews tend to serve as affirmation of your smart buying decision. Pretty much everything gets rave reviews these days so lots of happy spenders.

Of course the measurement that actually matters is the measurement taken at the listener's position. So If I am sitting 10 feet back - the mic would be at my ear and THAT is the position and the ONLY position that matters a good gall darn. And with BOTH speakers playing at the same time - none of this one speaker measured free field nonsense.
