Different issues...

>The reviews I have read over the last 30 years...never quite seem to say in words what is so painfully obvious looking at the measurments.>

First of all, reviewers are NOT failing to criticize components that measure poorly because they're concerned about the magazine's advertising revenue as you stated initially.

Then either the component sounds great, but measures poorly.

There are many examples of this - not the least being SET amps.

Or the reviewer is not as skilled a critical listener as those who actually DO hear the problems - and then correlate them to poor measurements.

Usually the reviewer has not seen any measurements when he listens and writes a review.

Are you listening to the component first - before looking at measurements which make its shortcomings "painfully obvious"?
