I don't see how they can. Under HP, TAS had a unique voice, and appealed to a specific audience, smaller than Stereophile's but with very high end (VHE?) interests that were well served by the magazine. Now, they seem to be trying to compete with Stereophile on its own grounds, without Stereophile's resources.
Also, their editorial content has been wildly inconsistent. Who is their audience, the beginner or the dyed-in-the-wool audiophile? Are they unimpeachable pull-no-punches critics, or an arm of the advertising department? Stereophile knows what it's about. But in trying to be everything to everybody, TAS runs the risk of pleasing neither its traditional readers, nor the broader-based readership it hopes to attract.
I sincerely hope they succeed, but even if they did a crackerjack job, I'm not sure that in an increasingly Internet-dominated market there's enough of an audience to finance two general purpose high end audio print magazines.
