and ever since we concluded together that my AN J lx that had serious cabinet damage and therefore make my impression of the AN J lx not conclusive, I have totally stopped to diss Audio Note. Ill try to audition another well functioning pair.

can you tell me where in this thread I have said anything negative about AN?

you say:
"
Your demanded lists of proof is kind of weird as well. If you read books on engineering - you will very much find out WHY corner positioning has superior effects for the propagation of sound - But all the blather and textbook references don't matter if the listening results are to the contrary.
"

can you point which acoustic book promote positioning the speaker in the corner? its absolutely not true. every placement guide, every acoustic books will explain in details why to not place speakers in the corner.

you say:
"
I'm not saying there aren't other excellent speakers because there are but it is an excellent speaker too - whether you happen to like them or not.
"
yes, all you have to say is that. not try to convince people with your "im a reviewer so I know better" attitude.

you say:
"
STEVE HOFFMAN - Award-winning Recording, Mastering and Restoration Engineer - Has compiled, mastered and released over 1,000 record albums and compact discs to critical acclaim.
"

I wouldnt trust his ears, he praised the 15k escalante speakers which are the worst measuring speaker of all time at stereophile:

http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/new-escalante-design-fremont-a-studio-monitor-and-audiophile-speaker-in-one.118794/

Steve hoffman speciality is re mastering engineer. its non sense to claim he is one of the best recording engineer in the world! I dont even think he recorded more then 30 albums in his life. his speciality is RE mastering of old jazz tapes using the original master tapes that was NOT recoded by himself, he does not mix or record but remaster (which demand very precise speakers). thats why I laugh. hes one of the good guys when it comes to his speciality though.

you manipulate information to try to augment the prestige of Audio note. ATC or Harman/Revel/JBL are infinitely more used in the biggest studio in the world.
About the third of the most reknown studio in the world use ATC:

now how many recoding engineers and studio use Audio note?

you say:
"
Harman is in the business of selling speakers and using their facilities to help sell their product - not to advance science.
"
well that is your opinion. and with how little you seem to know about anything acoustic, I wont trust yours.
Bob katz which is infinitely more reknown engineer uses..... Harman group Revel GEM 2 speakers.

much more important engineer could be Bruce Swedien which use westlake, David Reitzas on amphion two 18. maybe Reitzas is not famous enough for you:

you say:
"
You quote people on a little known forum website who claim to be recording engineers and yet have made recordings of no notable musician or band? But it's Hoffman that's the unknown? Try to make it a bit harder.
"
again and again, you throw false information. which little known guy did I refered to? do I really have to defend ATC now?
