Indeed, on the Klippel you only have what is in front of you. To surmise that subs will be used, even if sats+subs is recommended practise, is speculation. This is my point from the beginning. You can only review what is in front of you so...should be speakers with inadequate bass abilities (on their own, f3 at 40hz):
A) Have any review prefaced saying they are incomplete as is and must be supported by subs?
B) Be docked points for not having adequate bass reproduction?
If more preference was given to bass ability, then the loudspeaker rankings would like rather different. This is not to say Amir should be grade this way, it is not a case of no bias being possible, there is always a bias and explanation/examination of such the bias should be "front and centre".
