I'm skeptical of subjective reviews as well because every room and ear is a little different. Plus, some of the review sites and magazines, as in just about every industry, are merely corporate whores, selling the wares. That's why I suggest YOU audition them. Find stuff that a lot of people like, and listen to them. If you listen to them in position in your home, even better. Use music and movies you know VERY well and decide for yourself.
The only measuring equipment that means anything in the audio world is your own pair of ears.
