What I found puzzling was Atkinsons assertion (confession) that the music played by the reviewer is intended to accentuate the speakers strengths. Does it follow then that music not played is not played to avoid exposing a weakness? Among you fanboys was this understood, is it accepted and does this seem logical?
It seemed obvious to me that JA didnt like the speaker and tried as hard as possible to avoid admitting this. I never read what Reichert has to say. I'll bet Dudley hired Reichert and got him really cheap.

Not what I "confessed" or even wrote. Time to reach for a can of Troll-B-Gon?

Well you can call me names all you want but I am a subscriber and a very unhappy one at that. I wont be renewing.
I believe that what you wrote in the last section of your review is pretty obvious. The meaning couldnt be more clear. Why dont you just admit you dont like the speaker?
On top of all this silliness you claim synergy by using a tubed integrated push-pull amp! So you find a solution by adding mud to a lean bass and additional (but pleasant) coloration to an already colored midrange.
I have heard YG many times and the best I have heard them was with Vitus electronics. But I have to read 15 Ayre reviews while countless other manufacturers like Vitus are ignored.

I used the word "troll" because you are exhibiting the classic signs of
a troll: confrontational posting; misstating what someone else wrote;
using loaded language like "confess," "silliness," and "admit"; using
a loaded user name; etc etc. You wish me to address your points, then
clean up your act first, please.

It used to be thought that the customer was always right. But not so
in your case, I am afraid.
