Hi Ian,I think there are several points however that you missed, which may explain why a particlar review gets criticised. Here in no particular arder are a few:
1. Because the review methodology is completely flawed (dealer's showroom, hi-fi show etc.)
2. Because the review reports on really poorly conducted comparisons, where the conclusions are in no way representative and fail to account for an unlimited number of variables variables (e.g heard component A in a friend's house and component B in my house)
3. Because the reviewer fails to account for the affects of unknown rooms, unknown equipment etc. yet confidently ascribes the entire sound produced to the 'single' component under evaluation/discussion.
4. Because the reviewer criticises a piece of equipment without having a clue how to set it up and optimise its performance properly.
5. Because the reviewer fails to optimise the installation and ensure that the characteristics he ascribes to a component are not influenced by some other, completely unrelated cause.
6. Because the reviewer takes obviously mismatched components for the evaluation
7. Because the reviewer has multiple agendas
A component can't sound better than it inherently is, but it can sound a whole lot worse through imperfect matching, installation, set-up, room, mains power etc. etc.
When someone ascribes a certain characteristic to component that the component either does not have or that can be obviated by proper set up, i.e through incompetence, he should expect to be criticised.
