Wow. The number of bad conclusions in that write-up is amazing. Because they don't know why certain design decisions were made -- e.g. minimal bracing, no high-pass filter on the mids -- he basically concludes that Ian is a hack. He doesn't even consider that perhaps other designs were considered and blind tested in the development stage and found to be lacking.

I specifically remember Alan talking about how too much bracing can be detrimental to a speaker's sound. I think he was referring to the Algonquins, but I'm sure the idea carries over in general.

This guy is a complete hack whose suggestions for improvements would likely be detrimental to the overall sound when blind tested against unmodified originals.
