>How come Stereophile has not reviewed any Von Schweikert speakers in the
>past 15+ years?
We did receive samples of a Von Schweikert speaker for review a few
years back, but before the review had gotten underway, the speaker was
discontinued. (The drive-units it used were withdrawn from production.)
We returned the samples because there seemed little point in proceeding
with a review of a product that no longer existed.
But yes, a review of this brand is long overdue.

I wonder how much time you spend posting on various boards. I imagine it's a good bit. There are a lot of boards out here. I have always thought you put a great face forward for Stereophile by the way. Merry Christmas.

Interesting. Somehow I thought you'd spend a lot of time on this with the number of BBS out there. Glad it doesn't "tax" you heavily. Merry Merry!

He is a very patient gentleman. They are few and far between.
Even if he attempts to explain it, unless you're in their shoes, I think it would be difficult to grasp how anyone values their time.
"I have always thought you put a great face forward for Stereophile by the way."
'By the way' of what disclaimer?
I don't know what you mean by your post. Also I really don't judge or even really care how any one values their time . I was just looking for a number in hours per month or similar. As Joe Friday said "just the facts".

I guess the facts you seek are puzzling to me. Not unlike, 'What's your astrological sign?'.
Well it's like this JA is employed by Stereophile. I was just wondering how much time he spends on various boards as a spokesperson. My guess is a good bit. Perhaps the time spent is billable or part of his working hours perhaps not. That wasn't the goal of my question. Just the time spent. I know as a businessperson with two websites the amount of time emails and posts related to work can take.It seems germain to me where as someones astro sign is not.

Thanks for the clarification John. I would really love to see a review on one of their lower priced factory direct speakers, like the VR-33. I own a pair but I would love to see what the experts think, especially since I am "toying" with purchasing the Golden Ear Triton 1 speakers in the second half of 2015. Their very narrow footprint would work well in my living room.

The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells."
