"The fact that manufacturers are aware of probable favorable reviews from their loan of products doesnt provide much evidence for pure motives of reviewers, in my opinion."The last really critical (rather than negative) review in TAS was written on the Thiel 7.2 by Robert E. Greene several years ago, before Harley's time. I have never read a negative review of a major manufacturer since. I concur with your view that manufacturers wouldn't seem to need to "bribe" TAS reviewers since they get favorable reviews anyway. And no measurements are provided (as in Stereophile) to at least expose the engineering prowes of each manufacturer. IMHO most reviewers write bosh anyway.
