Benchmark Media Systems. Right or wrong

Why is it that such opinions are most often delivered with a large helping of condescension? It's as much about the writer's "wisdom"(ego) vs. "audiophools" as it is about the gear-- perhaps more.

@deep_333 Sugden and Pass never made tube amps!

From the company that puts measurements above all other factors.

And I’m sure their perfect specs have zero effect on user expectation having perfect sound reproduction.

Notice how the issue of psychoacoustic effect never applies to gear that measures “well”?

@deep_333 Really?

"I have several tube amps, old sugden, old Pass, a load of chifi amp kits, etc in storage that are not counted/considered here."
