>Yes the [Magnepan] 3.7. Why was it not reviewed????
I discussed this matter in the magazine, on the Stereophile website forum,
and on Audio Asylum. Magnepan will not submit products for review unless
I agree not to publish measurements. As I don't believe it appropriate
for the magazine to totally abandon its policy when a manufacturer requests
it, there was no review.
>Because the manufacturer gave some BS about "proprietary" frequency
>response.
Magnepan's Wendell Diller felt that my publishing the MG3.7's behavior
would give proprietary crossover information to Magnepan's competitors.
