There is enough subjective reviews for speakers in internet. Why they are all so positive? Because you don´t bite the hand that feeds you. Many sites/magazines are run by advertisement money, you start to write negative reviews or saying too straight things the commercial income stops, company won´t send products for review again.
Objective information or analysis is fact-based, measurable and observable.
The person reviewing the gear is electrical engineer who is after only the best in every category (based on available research) so one shouldn`t feel bad about the final words does he personally like the product or will he recommend it or not, it`s up to person themself to decide that. Most 2-way horizontal MTM center channels suffers the same problems as this 340 SE, so nothing new really. There was some things that didn´t show on Ascends data when Amir compared those, but Ascend is hopefully going to comment more in few days.
