This is easy. What other reviewer provides the reader with a reference (something you can measure all other reviews from the SAME reviewer by, not just hyperbole or salesmanship)?? He's been reviewing small monitor speakers for years, against a reference (in years past an Alon, now Nola, Petite, I believe), and then often against other models in addition to the Alon from previous reviews. Other reviewers change gear week to week. Check out a review of some speakers that you thought was enlightening, in whatever magazine, and check the associated electronics, if they list them. Then note that the speakers they -might- compare them to, from a previous review, might have electronics in the associated equipment totally different, or even in a different room ! There is no consistency, whatsoever. It is mostly based on their 'golden ears.' Mr. Reina's reviews are some of the few that provide something meaningful that a potential buyer can trust. And even better, monitor speakers represent something that represent a manufacturer's "house" sound, that can be placed in most of our rooms. As opposed to the huge, multi-buck speakers that won't work in most. This is as close to a controlled experiment/review that we can get. Kudos to Mr. Reina.
