Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms!


It’s almost sad, really.  Some reviewers I’ve been reading for decades, when showing their rigs on YouTube, have absolutely horrible rooms.  Weird shaped; too small w/o acoustic treatment; crap all over the place within the room or around the speakers; and on and on.  
 

Had I known about the listening rooms they use to review gear in the past, I would not have placed such a value on what they were writing.  I think reviewers should not just list the equipment they used in a given review, but be required to show their listening rooms, as well.
 

Turns out my listening room isn’t so bad, after all.

It’s not just their rooms.

It took me ages, far too long, to realise that none of their opinions count for much.

Most of them have vastly differing tastes to me (safe and boring audiophile fare) and I’m not too sure about their hearing either.

Or their sincerity.

Nowadays I might read or listen them now and then, but strictly for entertainment purposes only.
