In Reply to: Greg Timbers let go by Harman? posted by Jaundiced Ear on October 1, 2015 at 17:57:06:
Over at avsforum.com, Greg made an interesting post regarding some repeated misinformation that's been made in the audio press about who designed some of the Revel speakers. His post is now deleted, but other posts quoting it are not. One such post is here. What's been happening apparently is that a marketing guy named Kevin Voecks has told the audio press on numerous occasions that he is the designer of the products he's speaking to them about, when he is not a designer at all. According to Greg, the actual designer is a guy named Mark Glazer.
So how many times has this misinformation been put out? Here is a link to a google search of stereophile.com showing many instances in which they claim that Voecks is the Revel speaker designer. The link uses "let me google that for you" not to make fun of the person clicking on it, but because it's a more complex search criterion than normal.
So, assuming Greg is right, and I have no reason to doubt him, Voecks has been BSing people for years about this. Seems like they fired the wrong guy.
