...you can decide.Listen to them for yourself.
The comments about their design and measurements may be valid, but if the speakers still sound great - who cares?
IIRC, Hardesty didn't evaluate their musical performance, only their design.
Hardesty, along with Aczel and Salvatore have to bash Stereophile, TAS and the big audio manufacturers to get anyone to notice them.
IMO, they all have about as much credibility as the supermarket tabloids you see at the checkout counter with their sensational headlines. Same kind of journalism.
That's sad because I used to know Hardesty.
He was part owner of a high end shop in Huntington Beach called Haven and Hardesty in the mid-1970s. He was the guy who first introduced me to TAS and high end audio.
Kind of ironic.
