My impression of AD's less than total enthusiasm comes from his paragraph describing "drawbacks" including the lack of treble extension, "rounded" and plummy bass and possible imaging issues (he more-or-less blows off). Curiously, AD describes the Homage as coherent at a number of points in the review, something I wouldn't expect from a design lacking any obvious form of physical or electrical time alignment.

Regarding purchase of review samples or not, I doubt AD or any reviewer pays list price for anything. Presumably he gets "industry accommodation" or used pricing at say 30% to +50% off ($25-35K not $50K+). Bottom line here is that if AD really wanted these speakers, he'd find a way to make them his. As of this review, he hasn't........but he does list them as part of his reference system.........hmmmmmm?
