All in good fun of course. She also says that the hi-fi is the only thing I'm able to turn on these days.

I think their measurements may be inaccurate. Read their Alexx review. The bass extension was about the same and they said the Alexx was bass shy. I just don't believe this.

Also note that they gave the Alexx an 88 and the B&W 802D3 a 90.

That's ridiculous. The 802 is a good speaker for sure, but the Alexx is state of the art. Maybe they dinged it for the value proposition? I don't know, but Alexx is definitely not "bass shy" either!
