In Reply to: RE: I have to agree with the manufacturers comments. His quotes also are telling: posted by Nuit on December 16, 2014 at 12:38:30
I know this is cynical but I can't help but think back on all the Stereophile reviews of products from big-time, high-advertising manufacturers where the manufacturer/dealer was allowed to come in, set the speaker up, tweak the sound, etc. Or, if something seemed amiss, the manufacturer was allowed to send a new sample, a repaired sample, or an "updated" sample. I respect Stereophile for telling it like they see it in this case, but could it be that there is some discrimination going on against smaller manufacturers in the review process?

While it does seem suspicious that smaller manufacturers and non-advertisers are frequently not granted the opportunity to set up their products for Stereophile reviewers - and that we seem to get a disproportionate number of negative reviews - I retain a state of agnostic detachment on the matter. I say with certainty, however, that - had I been able to set up our speakers for Mr. Reichert - he would have heard what he did at Capital Audiofest last summer. Please note that, in his show coverage published on the Stereophile blog, he raved about our speakers. As I said in our Manufacturer's Comment, I feel that it impinged on Mr. Reichert to bring up this glaring discrepancy in his experiences of our product before penning his poison words, giving us the opportunity to correct the situation.
There is not doubt that Stereophile throws small manufacturers to the lions. That is because they can't fight back by pulling their ad dollars. They are easy defenseless pray.
Let's look at who Stereophile pummeled in the year or so..Raven Audio, Coffman Labs, and now this speaker manufacturer.
When major advertiser send them a turkey they get do-overs, excuses made for them, and continued support.
These the are facts as I see them.
