As for useful AV videos, I think Gene and crew do a good job.

You need bench measurements for electronics and CEA outdoor data or Klippel data for speakers to back up your observations and recommendations. Without the math it is just an opinion. And I will not watch you.

I agree with Golf, there's this clown over on a couple of the other forums, goes by 'Michaels Minute' on one and I forget his handle on the other, regardless, he has a YouTube gig and it's nothing more than blathering dialogue. Quite like alot of the reviews in TAS......

The problem with so many subjective reviews is the author is filling space. But, remember this, we are now in a time of less and less brick & mortar audio salons to go to, listen and form our own opinions(while being subjectively influenced) thus the internet has taken on that new role.

One thing that needs to stop- using a freaking smart phone to record, as a way to show how good speakers sound. Seriously? THIS is where recording technology has gone?

Ok, So assuming he will switch to the world's best most expensive microphone which can hear mouse farts - would that improve the experience of us hearing his speakers by watching a YT video while listening on entirely different speakers? (I am willing to ignore the lossy audio compression issues here)

That's challenging for most and tbh, to capture a general audience, they don't really care for all the technical stuff. Just look at Andrew Robinson videos. He has the highest views and the least technical presentations. I admire his production quality and ability to grow his channel.

Why do you admire that Gene when your team works hard to provide objective reviews with data? Isnt Andrew just spouting off opinions and subjective fluff? Im confused.
