You have committed a classical logical fallacy.

The validity of a question is not determined by who asks it anymore than the validity of a proposition is determined by who asserts it.

What it means is that you can't answer my question, or are afraid to answer it.

You maintain that auditions are only good for those who take part in them, but then you wonder why someone would suggest that there is no reason to pay much attention to subjective reviewers opinions about sound quality where there is no evidence they can actually detect the things they think they can hear. You seem to want to have it both ways.

Of course, this condition is met with speakers, but still, without a good methodology, the evaluations are likely to be severely biased. However, some reviewers tend to like the same speakers that I do, and my three favorite current speaker reviewers, John Atkinson, Doug Schneider, and Andrew Marshall present good sets of measurement results.
