I've come to the conclusion (my opinion only, not declaring this as fact) that "accurate" reproduction isn't necessarily what everyone values. When I got into this hobby, I presumed that was the goal and every upgrade one would make would be toward that goal.
Kind of like buying TV's at a big box store... big box stores crank up the settings (brightness, contrast, color, etc) and use display material that really grabs your attention. "Wow, that's a REALLY vivid yellow on those flowers and vivid green on the grass!" Sure, but is that the color those objects are in real life?
I prefer accuracy in my music (and my displays). If that makes some of my favorite material sound bad, it just changes what I listen to. I believe others (some reviewers included) prefer what they feel is a more pleasurable sound. So I read all my reviews with a grain of proverbial salt. After all, it's just opinions. But when I see a reviewer praising the accuracy of a component, I (usually) find that it matches up with what I like.
