I just noticed I was asked questions on your post.
1. I question that review, only because that particular mag never ever in my experience recommends something that expensive, and it is clear the author had a prior thing going on the design of the Beolab. But I question it mainly because they never,ever never recommend anything that expensive in that magazine, but then again, it may be that good. So I don't disregard it, it just strikes me as very strange.
2. I have no idea about the reviewer, except I generally believe most reviewers try to do a good job and he seemed fairly technically knowledgeable during the review.
And I LIKE omnis, because you are not nailed to a sweetspot ...and no matter what anybody says, the omnis I have measured have better dispersion than any box speaker I have measured, by a fair amount. It is a tradeoff if you are not sitting in an exact spot, which, I agree, will tend to be the absolute best measured place if a room is done right. The question is, do you want a solitary hobby or one you share... do you want to sit in more than one spot? If so, omni, if no... box.
Cheers!
Chris
