Agreed 100 percent. There's simply too many subjective variables at play, not the least of which would be: Synergy with other hardware and how much of those descriptions he wrote were due to his amp, etc. etc.
It's disheartening to see people base their purchasing decisions solely on some thread on the Internet and nothing else.
People wouldn't buy automobiles in that fashion, so why do it with electronics?
I've been amazed, in the worst way possible, when I've been on audio-vidoe and home theater forums, how often this happens with a lot larger ticket items like TV's, receivers, you name it.

Using forums like these should be one of MANY steps people take to arrive at at informed opinion of sorts, not the first, last, and ONLY step.
