S&V is not that bad. It is much better than Stereo Review was. Thankfully they have gotten rid of Julian Hirsch. He was the guy who beleived all amplifiers sounded alike. His opinion carried no weight with me and he was the butt of jokes among other members of the audio press.
They recently tested a Sony receiver that only put out 31 watts with all channels driven. I have been complaining about what Sony has been doing for several years. They are quoting figures at 1khz with audible distortion instead of 20hz-20khz with say .05% distortion.
HT is okay, but i got burned by them last year when i bought a Sony HITB for our vacation home. It was reviewed by someone who had zero experience, i later found out.
I have already sold the thing. I just couldn't stand to listen to it.
I like Widescreen Review, but they are only testing high end stuff that is way out of my budget.
