While I will read reviews on products, I take them with a grain of salt. Most professional reviewers are really full of, well you know what! While I am more into movies that audio now days, I find the pro reviewers on movies are usually wrong compared to most viewers out there in the mainstream public. One bad review compared to many good reviews does not a bad product make! I always said, make a customer happy and he/she will tell several others. Make one mad, and he/she will tell every Tom, Dick, & Harry in the world. So, I would say, just overlook this bashing, and don't feed it or it will grow. You folks know Bryston products are great and some Joe is not going to change your mind.
