"What makes me passionate about hating equipment is when a reviewer loves it and I hear it and go WTH?? That sucks. Not necessarily the price point.
The opposite is also true. When really good gear gets trashed in the press I can be pretty angry about it. "
Just because you didn't like something that somebody gave a review on and liked it doesn't mean the equipment is bad. What you are expecting a system to sound like is going to be different from other people and every system is different starting with equipment to room acoustics.
