Being overly negative or gushy on a regular basis doesn't help the reader.
As much as you would like to think we are all "greasing the palms of the audio industry," to not describe a product as accurately as possible doesn't help you, me or the mfr.
The Lamm amps are a great example. I've always found the Lamm stuff to be way too dark for my taste, yet when I've heard them with Wilson Sophias or Sashas, the sound has always been fantastic.
It's never an easy conclusion to draw.
Ultimately the best hifi review will lead you to a product demo so you can draw your own conclusion in your own system. Nothing more.

Jeff,
Interesting views.
I find Wilson speakers a bit too bright for me. You describe a dark tendancy for Lamm amps : now I'm not surprised about their synergy with Wilson speakers.
Thanks

You're a very valuable source of information here !
