Preference scores are a little weird as a metric—collapsing everything into a single score seems a bit of an oversimplification to me. Not entirely useless, but not really the whole story. The LX has a higher preference score than the EXv2, and I feel like the LX is the better speaker overall so that tracks, but there are still use cases where I think the EXv2 is actually better. So I don't think preference score is a perfect indicator.

There's also an oddity with preference score for the S1v2. Erin's graph says 6.8 but spinorama.org put it at 6.4. Those are both great for a sub-$1000 speaker, but it's enough of a gap that I wonder about it. (For reference, spinorama.org has the LX at 6.8 and the EXv2 at 5.9.)
