I agree with this. You have to read that magazine with a grain of salt - rarely do they ever come out and say something is bad. Usually you have to fish it out of the review, which the OP did. I have noticed that when John Atkinson he says "This is a loudspeaker you have to audition" - that is about as negative as he will go. And I don't think he is being negative, but he is saying to go listen to it and see if you like it.
That being said, I think JA writes amazing reviews and I love his measurements and the way he overlays the graphs with other speakers. My goal is to go to Axpona in 2022 and listen to some of the benchmarks he uses, and maybe I can get some reference points for his auditions.
