The "low volume" issue is probably not one where the unit introduces deficiencies which lead to "loss of sonic magic". If you read Peter Walker, late of Quad and arguably the greatest audio engineer of his generation, he said that there was only one correct volume to listen to a piece of reproduced music, where the equipment/human interface worked optimally. Turn the volume down by 20db and it sounds different and not just in terms of loudness. Turn it up by 20db and you will experience similar issues.
These journalists, probably well intentioned, have to write something and the What Hifi model pretty much forces them into doing a "for" and "against" list - and the writer may have to display similar "expertise" when they move him to What Car or What Whatever.
Just use your own ears and use reviews primarily to weed out the unsuitable and the dross.
