RE: I think there is a valid distinction that can be drawn... .

I'll grant that my use of "to a man" may have been too sweeping. That said, however, I don't understand why, if it sounds good, it's reported as such, yet, if it doesn't, that doesn't really count.

Further, with all of the emphasis among critics upon long term listening as essential to a meaningful review, I simply don't see how any serious judgment, positive or negative, can be rendered within the confines of what can only be a severely limited amount of time available to listen at a show, especially to render a "best sound" designation when most have apparently not even heard everything on display.
