Thanks.
To me, the main reason for a HiFi reviewer to state that Magico ( which I listened to a few times ) and Vivid ( which I never heard ) are way above Wilsons must be much more simple than "personal preference".
I suspect highly a marketing attitude related to their advertising contracts.....
They bash the ones who do not give them money. As simple as that.
And they praise the others.
Jérôme.......I agree, although most publishers will be quick to deny the connection. It is important to them that their reader thinks they are so above the graft. None the less, as the old expression goes, "You don't bite the hand that feeds you." I am certain advertising income influences all of them to one degree or another, no matter what they publically claim.
