Re: What I found strange, S, is that it has your site linked, your graphic, your url!

Hi Celluloid.

How could it happen? Simple. I upload anything I write immediately onto my server in case my computer at home crashes. That way I can reverse FTP what already lives on my server in an as yet unpublished URL.

In the case of fact-check copies, I send manufacturers the hidden URL. It's the only way to show 'em the copy. I *never* write to Word or some other kind of writing program, always directly into GoLive which is my html program. The hidden URL is the same one I use once the review gets active. The only diff? The official review is linked to from my audio review pages, the "under works" files aren't.

Adam simply "published" the URL, replete with all the graphics I had already laid out on the page. No need to "hack" into the site at all. He just knew where to look since I told him. Again, why the hell he published it is beyond me. You're right, it's just an intro with a preliminary "this is gonna be great" remark. I left him a message tho.

Re: reviewing "regular" speakers, yep, them's a-coming. The DUOS happen to me my reference speaks, i.e. they're what I own, what I'm used to and what constitutes a known quantity. However, future reviews of "normal" dynamic designs are pending. I'm with you - horns aren't for everyone. Neither are tubes. I'm trying to keep a good mix of price points and designs - always accounting for what's available and what my room can support.

Also, if I *know* I'm gonna hate something because it isn't my cuppa tea, I'm not requesting it. It's a drag to waste bad ink and it does nobody a favor. However, once something shows up, it gets reviewed, whether I totally dig it or not. I try to be fair, and in truth, hardly anything shows up these days that is outright bad. But sometimes a component doesn't perform or I don't get it - like the recent Musicalizer. Then I have to say so while leaving room that it might perform very differently elswhere. Just the usual reviewer's considerations, you know?

Anyhow, I hope it's clear now how this thang happened. Once the amp returns, I'll finalize the review. We'll see whether the initial impressions hold up. They were certainly very promising, especially seeing I'm a known tube hound and have speakers that are brutally revealing.

Cheers,

Srajan
