The assessment was made by a AH professional tester and reviewer there is nothing more to be add and say...20 pages of what?.....lmao...like i said on avs....How can two professional reviews be SO drastically different?....must be one of the 2 who was high or something??..........
The difference is one review was written by a reviewer/marketing guy while our review was written by a guy that designs subs for a living whom very rarely sings praises for any products unless they are flawlessly engineered like the SVS sub he reviewed. His primary job aside from designing products is to fix mistakes he finds in other peoples products he is contracted for.
S&V and Audioholics are two different types of publications. Our readers/audience tend to be more critical, hence our reviews are more in-depth and critical. Most of our reviewers, myself included are degreed engineers or very tech oriented people.
As a result, Paul goes much more indepth in measurements and analysis but he is also a much more critical reviewer. He also had on hand 3 other subs to directly compare against giving him great perspective on how consumer subs in the $1-2k range should perform.
I sometimes wish I had more reviewers like S&V that tend to put a more positive twist on reviews, and not go as in-depth in analysis to eliminate the drama from disbelief fanboys. It would certainly land us more advertising opportunities if our reviews were all glossy and positive.
The S&V graph to me looks like it has one octave of less resolution. Can't really discern what is going on.
If you don't like the data in our reviews or our advice and conclusions, switch off our site and chose the review that makes you feel warm and fuzzy about your product. There is certainly nothing wrong with that.
