Message boards in general can be a good or bad place for information. It's kind of like listening to movie reviews. You've got to filter out all the subjective and listen for the objective. You obviously can't listen to only one board either. (Especially a brand hosted board!)

Before I bought my first Axioms I had been reading raves about them on numerous boards and online reviews. The big stereo mags are great for finding out what's new, but as far as reviews go...again, filter out all their subjective crap and just read the objective substance. I've NEVER read a bad review in a magazine. But if you read between the lines you can pick out some good info.
