In Reply to: Why do people respond aggressively to reviews posted by Steve on April 6, 2001 at 10:45:46:
Hi Steve,Yeah, I pretty much agree with all of what you've said.
From my perspective, and before I ever agree to take on a product for review I do the following:
1. Speak to the manufacturer to get a better feel for the product, the goal of the design, what it was designed with and what it is designed to work with.
2. I read other reviews of the product (if they exist) to see if the other reviewers made any set-up errors or used it in a system that is similar or totally different from mine.
I agree 100% that reviewers take on products that they have no business reviewing. In my case, I'd be somewhat hesitant to take on a pair of Avant-Gardes as I don't think they'd work well in my room. My equipment is certainly good enough, but I don't think I would be hearing them at their best to make a honest assessment.I recently turned down some rather large speakers (talking about really massive stuff over 5 feet) as I didn't feel that they'd work well on the bass side and my amps were not powerful enough.
It's not hard to be an honest reviewer, it just requires a lot of work and common sense.
My next piece coming in is the Emotive Audio Sira and I've reorganized my entire rack and system for it as it needs to be set-up properly.
The "gospel" thing bothers me, as I don't think our comments should be taken as anything more than a researched opinion. If you buy without trying and only based on what someone else told you, you are in a sad state.
