My problem with professional reviewers is also about getting huge discounts or even free audio equipment for the reviews! I have heard from one Audio company that the large Audio magazines won’t even review his equipment unless he advertises with their magazine. The review system is largely corrupted IMHO! This isn’t to say there aren’t honest reviewers. It sometimes amazes me the over-the-top equipment that some of these magazine reviewers OWN based on their salaries. I’m not talking about the equipment they get in for review and have to return eventually. Also, these same reviewers know that if they ever give a company a bad review that company will never do cooperate with them again! Steve Guttenberg has even said in one of his videos that he will NEVER give a bad review.
