Recently I found several old copies of Consumer Reports (2001-2003) that contained the ratings of several types of speakers. They state their ratins/rankings are based on how "accurately" the speaker reproduces sound. After reading this forum several of the speakers/manufacturers that held in high or low regard here are almost polar opposite of what Consumer Reports rating/ranking. I know CR is not a sterophile magazine but they appear to taking a scientific approach to reporting a speakers ability to reproduce the original source. Can anyone explain/comment on the value of Consumer Reports as a useful source for determining future purchases. Sorry if this has been threaded before but I thought I'd ask...
