Your observations are mostly well-taken. Still I have concerns.

Look at two of their statements:

"The CD has adequate bandwidth and dynamic range for any home reproduction task." Oh really? Iâ€™ll bet no attention whatsoever was devoted to low-level resolution and dynamics; whenever one hears talk about â€œdynamic rangeâ€ itâ€™s only about how loud something can go, never how well it can reveal the music at low, bit-strangulated levels. (Talking PCM here.)

Even worse:

"The burden of proof has now shifted." And now Iâ€™m mad as hell! Cleverly they have slipped this article into a forlorn albeit vaguely respected journal, from which a campaign can be mounted to shoot down any opposition. â€œSee? Read the article the JAES if you donâ€™t believe me.â€

You say you might "email Meyer and ask him for full documentation on the tests". Good! Also ask him what the equipment was, esp. the speakers -- and if you would, please, pass the response along to me.
