I think what we are missing is the dynamic transient nature of music coupled with how we hear versus elctronic measurements which are basically steady state. We then take these steady state measurements and try to extrapolate transient performance. It just doesn't seem to work. I have heard a lot of gear that measures poorly yet sounds quite wonderful to me. All solid state gear measures far superior to tube equipment yet I prefer the sound of tube gear over solid state. SACD's measure far superior to LP's but I prefer LP's. You can claim that reviewers as well as I don't know what we're talking about but I can just as easily claim that the objectivists have no real evidence that measurements can predict the sound of an audio component.
