I worked for them for years. Writing direct mail ad copy.
Would you believe that several of the people there are (or were) audio buffs?
They don't test luxury watches or Ferraris, either.
Follow Ups:
every time they cover a product that I know something about, they don't know what they are talking about. So, not dishonest, but not useful either.
But before I buy a dishwasher or a vacuum cleaner I check them out.
This is off topic, but Consumer Reports recommended a Kenmore vacuum cleaner as their top choice for several years that was a piece of junk and broke repeatedly. So I don't trust them on vacuum cleaners (or audio).
So at least at one time, they were doing SOMETHING right!
When I worked for Radio Shack in the late 70's CR rated their piece of shit TAD15 answering system that was $99 as high as a great Record a Call dual cassette that was $299. It had a piece of tape looped inside for the outgoing message and were always a problem with a very high repair and refund rate as well.
They also rated Mach One's too high as well. I never trusted them for electronics after that.

That was my point, an icon of transparency and objectivity.
Observe, before you think. Think before you open your yap. Act on the basis of experience.
