It's also why I try to avoid sweeping judgements, like "it's the best for the price". Any one of us has much too small a sample to draw from. We can make individual comparisons, but even thouse are subject to varibales like setup issues, psychoacoustics, and of course personal taste. I guess I see it more in the receiver discusstion threads, but you just can't get much from "Go for the ! I have one and couldn't be happier". Only to find out it is the only brand they've heard.
