Home Critic's Corner

Discuss a review. Provide constructive feedback. Talk to the industry.

There's an old adage, Something left to itself will always get worse - never better.

The fundamentals have been lost. Real performance no longer matters. What matters is what sounds best on paper and who has the most technical "expertise" in the forums and the new holy grail is measurements and psuedo science.

It's a dumbing down and I suspect google can be blamed for part of it, but the magazines found it convenient and profitable to play along with it.

Hence, listening skills are no longer a requirement in an audio-only industry. Even for reviewers - though I'm aware a few have quite well-trained ears.

I suspect that's why a popular magazine editor can claim musically perfect..., across the board about a speaker at a show and nobody, I mean nobody bats an eye.
