Nice summary

Seems to match my experience as well. Like JA, I was strongly influenced by many of his early writings for The Audio Critic. I can only speculate, but my impression was that he felt he had figured out the "holy grail" of making great loudspeakers for reasonable prices, and became personally offended when the world didn't agree with either the results (ie, sound of the speakers) or the methods (using magazine subscription money to finance the loudspeaker company, then giving the Fourier an over-the-top "review" without disclosing the obvious conflict of interest).

As always, my personal opinion only and not necessarily that of my employer or favorite reviewers.
