the looks maybe in the cons list for the reviewer because he's not a fan of the looks.I find is somewhat strange you give the looks an entry in the cons list as you actually say
'Now, as I’ve said before, looks are subjective. Things person A likes are not automatically going to be what appeals to person B'. Could we not then give every speaker, or piece of hifi for that matter, an entry in the cons list.
sound preferences are subjective. everyone's ears are different.I do not entirely agree. A review should primarily be based on facts, some measured and yes some subjective. Speakers are probably the hardest part of a hifi system to judge objectively.
Connectivity and features both get an 8 what would need to be different to get a higher score?
Can look up plenty of speakers reviewed here that get 8 for both and have twin posts and ports.sound preferences are subjective. everyone's ears are different.
lack of twin binding posts?
lack of the option for the listener to experiment with ported or blocking ports?
could it be relative to cost?Can look up plenty of speakers reviewed here that get 8 for both and have twin posts and ports.

shouldnt you have awarded it 4 out of 5? lol
Fantastic speakers. Owned them for 6 months now, and they're just so engaging and well balanced. As mentioned in the review, very cohesive and coherent, with a lush, open soundstage. Even the bass, on the whole, is very satisfying as it's so well integrated, fast and punchy. And sub/s can be called upon if greater depth is required.
Speakers Darth Vader would use.@ Ed Selley
Might there be a review of these beautiful things any time soon Ed?
