No measurements whatsoever, instead talk about how the bass feels.
..is this what "normal" audiophile journalism looks like? Because frankly this is just weird.

I plan on including some measurements in the future, but currently I'm learning on how to measure, to not make worse articles with measurements if those would be done imporperly.
Equipment that measures distortion and aspects like the slew rate of the amplifier can be rather complicated to use and pricey, and I do focus on the subjective part of audio, not because I have special ears, but because I ought to have average and similar hearing to most people so I can talk about most peole would hear as well.

If you would use measurements you wouldn't say things like
>the bass is incredibly neutral and flat
Because it clearly, objectively is not!
That's why "subjective" reviews so quickly devolve into audiophile voodoo. You might hear them as "flat", and I'm not saying that you're lying or anything, there are many reasons why you might think that. But at the same time it should be clear that there is no reason why this review should reflect some sort of "so I can talk about most peole would hear as well.". It's not flat and you talk about being flat.
And that's just one example.

Ah, gotcha, so instead of flat, it is actually rolled off by 4-5 dB
