How We Review Audiophile Floorstanding Speakers

Some reviewers love to review audiophile floorstanding speakers, while others reach for the jar of Advil Liqui-Gels to deal with the back pain. A lot of time (weeks upon weeks) goes into micro-placement changes, which can make a large, objective sonic improvement. Measurements are not often done in a lab, but they do come from digital room correction tools and measurement microphones. Subwoofers are used, but not for most critical listening to floorstanding speakers, as it is key to understand how low a speaker will go without the use of a subwoofer. If a direct comparison is done between speakers, careful volume matching is done.
