RE: That's an interesting journey

To be fair though a review can really only review the given piece in his own system and room. I have liked a speaker in my system then someone blasts me for liking a speaker but then I see their room and what they ran it with and it's not terribly difficult to know why it didn't work in that room/set up.

I have heard my own speakers (or variants of) sound rather poor in other systems and rooms and sound much better - heck in the same room but with different amplifiers (even from the same company). There are a lot of variables.

My personal preference for reviewing would be to review complete systems like an all AN system, all Pass Labs system, all Rega, Linn, Roksan etc. Then at least you know what the company is about in terms of sonic aesthetic.
