Simon,

If you look closely you can see that the review is rather a scan from a printed copy: that's exactly the final review.

And you're right: Unfortunately most reviewers - British or foreign - tend to focus on the technology rather than the sound. I remember 2 German reviewers writing endless sermons of how different (!) the setup of a M system (5.1) is to the setup of an analogue system.

It really is a pity that Britain's best mag hi-fi+ doesn't review M gear - for whatever reason. I'd love to read an extensive review concentrating on the sound and the ways to improve the performance, giving the M stuff the same care and attention they use when reviewing expensive tube amps.

Cheers
