RE: I think you are right that there are just so many manufacturers & few dealers

I don't much worry about it because if I find myself consistently disagreeing with a reviewer for any reason, I stop paying attention to his reviews. Also, there are so many sources of information today that it's easy to get a second, third, and twentieth opinion before you buy. I've never found that the hit rate is 100% anyway, and that's true even if I audition the gear at a dealer's, since I'm listening in different acoustics with different ancillary equipment. Reviews are a good way to narrow your list to a manageable number of candidates, a good supplement to what you hear at the dealer's (since the reviewer listens at length in a domestic environment), and a good way to get a fix on equipment that can't be auditioned because you live too far away or your local dealer doesn't carry it.
