Hmmm.............

Seems to me that HP IS part of the problem. He was reviewing and giving his blessing on extraordinarily expensive items, based simply on the fact that the quest for Absolute Sound knew no monetary boundaries.

Well OK, I can deal with that, BUT he also received review samples for free and while using them often ignored cerain fundamental issues.

Case in point: Infinity IRS V's. I had an opportunity to work with them, To my ears they were a disjointed system where the woofers could not blend in with the mids and highs. Not a word of this issue was published by HP till the IRS were discontinued and he received the new replacement Genesis design. In his initial assessment of the Genesis he refers to the discontinuity between the woofer and upper frequencies which he said plagued the IRS.

Duh, what was it?, something like 5 years that he used the IRS and uttered nary a negative word about their performance. But give up the freebie and get a free replacement and all of a sudden what seemed to be his darling is a flawed design.

I have seen many reviewers and even visited the home of a currently active one. Let me unequivocally state that every reviewer I met have no better ears than anyone else on this forum. The primary difference is that they have the gift of writing, and do it well.
