My primary complaint with JA and his reviews is that, although he points out numerous "faults" with the 804D4, he still calls it a "good" (notice the lack of superlatives that he uses for the best he reviews) speaker because he is biased for all things audio that come from the UK. As a subscriber from about the time JA came on board at Stereophile, I've noticed this unfortunate trait. Though JA is an excellent technician, they should find a less biased person to run their reviews & measurements on gear from the UK.
