Interestingly, it’s also one of the few sources of comprehensive objective measurements of high-end speakers and other equipment.
They’re just careful to never let the actual measurements influence the glowing prose of their main review; at most Atkinson gets off a mild shot or two in the conclusion to the measurement section (“somewhat idiosyncratic measured behavior”, “even with its rather lively cabinet”, “don’t measure as well as they could”)
- johnvanommen 7y agoJohn Atkinson is what sets Stereophile apart from all the other mags. Basically Stereophile has tons of articles that are clearly nonsensical, like reviews of $100,000 tube amps. But they also do objective measurements of equipment, which most magazines do not. That data is an absolute treasure trove; it's one of the best places to develop insight into the engineering of quality loudspeakers.
