What Rags carry the most review weight???

Use all mags to draw up a shortlist, then audition as many as possible, in as similar conditions as possible, preferably using your speakers and CD player.
No mag. should be used as a blind (should that be deaf) purchase decision.
Also since amps and speakers must be matched a particular "great" amp might not work for you.
Personally I hate What HiFi ... I think they're paid off by some of the bigger names like Marantz. That said, they're product guide page is a good starter place to draw up a list.
Like a previous reviewer said US audio people spend soooo much money on gear it's hard to find out about reasonably priced stuff.

All audio rags should be read for enjoyment only. They're good for giving you an idea of the range of equipment out there, and some of the characteristics you might enjoy the most. If I was in the market for a new pair of nice speakers, I'd use the reviews to get down to a list of maybe 10-12 lines I'm interested in, but not to pare down the list any further. There are just too many variables, and as others have said, too often there isn't enough context given to really know how your own experience would match up. I find most of the rags enjoyable enough for the price of admission. -Kirk

I agree with what has been said above. The mags all have their perspectives and if you read them long enough you can kind of predict their review. Agon has great advice and there are lots of threads on integrated amps. But, to repeat the most important recommendation, don't let anything substitute for your own ears. Many times it is best to first select the speaker. However, if you want to buy the amp first, I suggest that you find the one you want and wait on the actual purchase until you find the speakers you want. This gives you some room for changing your mind, upgrading, etc. You may save yourself some hassel and money. Patience may pay back big time. Good luck.
