that Stereophile is the main lightning rod in this thread. Hardly a peep about the outrageous behavior at TAS revealed by a former writer! As for 6 Moons, I find their policy sketchy, at best. But whatever, I haven't read any review there for several years now - mostly uninteresting products and rarely well-written articles.
Stereophile ain't perfect but it's head and shoulders above everything else and with more credibility.

This is still largely a Stereophile friendly forum.

I assume you're talking about Sue's post.
How do you know they are related?
Do you know who Randy and Dick are?
Do you know what publications they write for?
Art and Bill and Sue didn't name any names. And even if they had been forthcoming with the specifics of their accusations, that doesn't mean the accusations are confirmed. You would need evidence for that. So far, we don't have any evidence, nor any testimony. We don't even really have an accusation. Just a smear.
I didn't name the manufacturer because I have no proof. My word against his. And TAS really didn't do anything wrong. They simply didn't know who to believe and chose the manufacturer, who was making a rather large fuss and denying any wrongdoing.
Looking back, perhaps I should not have said anything. It was simply a gut reaction to contact one of the TAS editors. I've actually had a few phone calls from friends since my post saying they would have taken the speakers. And how many other reviewers? Randy and Dick perhaps?

You did the right thing. Doing the right thing is not always without cost.

Rather that these are cases of unethical behavior by audio reviewers/magazines
I'm really just tired of all the innuendo that gets thrown around the industry by manufacturers and press who don't like other manufacturers and press. Unless you're on the inside you'll never know enough about what really happens to pass judgment or to know who the "good guys" are, if there are any.
..and that, dear sir, is a huge point.
