RE: Is Line Magnetic making repro tungars?...

My impression of AD's less than total enthusiasm comes from his paragraph describing "drawbacks" including the lack of treble extension, "rounded" and plummy bass and possible imaging issues (he more-or-less blows off). Curiously, AD describes the Homage as coherent at a number of points in the review, something I wouldn't expect from a design lacking any obvious form of physical or electrical time alignment.
Regarding purchase of review samples or not, I doubt AD or any reviewer pays list price for anything. Presumably he gets "industry accommodation" or used pricing at say 30% to +50% off ($25-35K not $50K+). Bottom line here is that if AD really wanted these speakers, he'd find a way to make them his. As of this review, he hasn't........but he does list them as part of his reference system.........hmmmmmm?
