[QUOTE="pwatts, post: 1094960, member: 146"] I feel your pain. Back in the day, several purchases got guided (and intended ones avoided) by being able to go listen in shops or even take a carload of gear home for a weekend's evaluation. Those days are gone now, so you have to be guided. Unfortunately, personal taste is a major contributor and giving input without knowing that, nevermind synergy on top, guidance will not necessarily take you in the direction you want. For basics like music/movies, bass boominess and aesthetics of course it helps but when it goes up in the echelons, nevermind stuff like cables, it becomes a real minefield when buying just off reviews.
