So, you heard the speakers and agree with Stereophile? I've only heard the Moab and the Double Impacts and thought they were pretty good for the money. They may be outside their wheelhouse making a much more expensive speaker, but, I don't know because I haven't heard it.
There are plenty of stinker components, by my taste, that get favorable review from Stereophile, and it is really hard to see any kind of consistency--a wide range of sounds get good reviews. In one sense that is good because they are not catering to one kind of sound, but, in another sense it is not so good because one cannot predict if they will like something based on a review. It still comes down t hearing for oneself, and PLEASE, don't consider watching youtube videos as "hearing for onself."
