That happened in spades at AH a while ago at the Bryston Speaker launch when almost everyone (except moi & 3db) pontificated on how awful they were going to be by simply looking at pics on the web. Nobody had heard or tested them yet. Really, the only reason there was controversy was because of the manufacturer (you know who), not the brand name.
I was really disappointed & appalled by the behavior of a bunch of so-called learned enthusiasts who profess to be totally driven by 'audio science' & how they could carry on that nonsense for page after page of posts that were full of bias, supposition, hearsay, speculation and venom. In the end, the Brystons are universally highly thought of by anyone who has actually heard them - what a novel idea...
