That's the thing with European speakers in most of US living rooms.Take them to the bedroom and it's another story. They are usually very overpriced but what other choice exists?
As for reviews, read a lot of them and you will start to hear what you want and are conditioned to hear.
My friend once had a choice between speaker A and B. He liked the B more, all people (nonaudiophools) visiting the home when asked opinion liked the B more but he decided that since A had great reviews and were from fashionable brand there must be something he is not hearing and the other people don't know what they are talking about (nonaudiophools) so he kept A.
