Exemplary Review Standard

Posted by House13 on January 25, 2017 at 07:13:24:
That latest Magico S5 MKII review by Marten Colloms in HiFi Critic is how all reviews should be written. Very thorough with more comprehensive and detailed measurements than are given in Stereophile which never publishes distortion figures. He also thoroughly compared the sonic differences between the earlier S5 & the revised MkII. There is nothing left to chance or guess at in the review.
This additional link is to a review of a completely different kind of loudspeaker than the Magico, the Dynaudio Focus 600XD, in Computer Audiophile. It too provides exhausting and painstaking real listening and testing evaluations with professional reference standards cited and described:
