The truth is out: RGA likes dynamics. Who'd have guessed? Anyway I suppose the Playback reviewers feel the same way. I guess I listen to too much chamber music but for me resolution, transparency, and air trump dynamics.

My original comment was only meant to suggest the need to read between the lines: if one's own particular priorities differ, one might come to a different weighting than the author.
