If you have enough listening time in, and know what to listen for, you can easily hear crossover induced phase distortions, for example. I believe many reviewers (and audiophiles) mistakingly blame cables or electronics for certian things they hear when in reality it's phase distortion in the crossover many times. I have been able to hear the crossover in every high order speaker I have listened to in the last 3 years. People plop down hard earned cash based upon glowing reviews. I wonder how many reviewers know how to distinguish phase distortion from an edgy amplifer or strident, forward sounding cables?
Follow Ups:
Most reviewers are there to write entertaining reviews, and not much else. Entertaining reviews help sell magazines which helps to get advertising revenue. It's just another facet of the dumbing down process which is rather prevalent in audio, and the first part of the dumbing down process was to disparage , and discontinue measurements. You're just seeing the end result of years of stupidity.

Well, that was an honest answer. Thanks.
Where you really expecting an honest answer from Mr. Kuller?
I suspect not.

...a failed equipment designer calling audiophiles stupid is kind of funny.Or sad and pathetic.
Lord knows you don't have much else to grab on to. BTW: If you go over to Audio Circle you will find I'm still getting great reviews a year after I stopped manufacturing. You are pathetic Mike.
