In Reply to: It should be noted that Peter Qvortrup defended the bass and sensitivity rating on the HE forum... posted by RGA on August 6, 2007 at 06:28:19:
and his ethics a little bit too. His main reviewing tool still seems to be a pair of full range Lowthers in Medallion cabinet ,100Hz-8kHz speaker to judge equipment hmm. Also he used to be critical of Stereophile and other glossy magazines but when Listener folded jumped on the same wagon.Life of reviewers is rewarding isn't it ?,way more than being a school teacher. As to the AN speakers all the manufacturers manipulate data ,nothing new .What is characteristic to AN proponents is extreme case of herd behavior and cult following causing anti AN reactions of other clans ;) Poor P.Q is a victim of own cult being intimidated with countless questions from the herd of the sort i.e "what kind of resistor on the second stage cathode to use and should it be 1 or 2 watts or does AN finished products use a super E config. if not maybe its not the best idea to use it", should I use shottky and why not".OT.
Kondo san the co -founder of AN passed away and almost no one noticed on the AN site besides one short enigmatic post and even more enigmatic reply that the guy yes had some insights but he was a weirdo anyway with most of his designs flawed ,but when some of the user of some obscure audio forum
has a problem with copper coupling caps there is alarming red light (my guess is most of the users of pio coupling caps had problem with them quietly resolved behind the scene)and great debate. The same thing with the speakers ,the published data doesn't comply very well with the physics
so what if they don't .Why everybody who got in the possession of any kind of AN "crap"feel obliged to defend the brand ??
