RE: It appears you found...

LOL! Apparently you care what I think.

Well, we have been talking about his obituaries for some days, and I stayed out of the earlier threads. Now we are looking at the NYT article, where I would expect some attempt to mention some possible criticisms.

I actually got more from the reviews in the old High Fidelity magazine than I did from reviews in Stereo Review.

Julian Hirsch was a much more compact writer than most, and he could give a good idea of what to expect from a speaker in relatively few words. His reports of measurements were not very detailed. The only speaker I bought that he recommended was the Quad ESL-63, but then many others also really liked them, though not Richard C. Heyser, although he did a good set of measurements. I never really had a proper place to put the ESL-63s to get the best results out of them, and in any case, I have better speakers now, which are much more room and placement friendly.
