2x6 ... You won't see negative reviews in a magazine that accepts advertising, unless there is a comparison with products that do advertise.
The issue with your 2.8's was pretty easy to spot for people who have been around audio for a long time. Think of the "macro issue" of ordinary audiophiles buying these speakers then having them sound mediocre at best, when listening at home. Is the business model Mr. Schifter promising for months to show up to fix them, and maybe making it after 6 months?
In the mean time, one can take a pair of Legacy, PSB, Axiom, Bryston, Paradigm, Klipsch (heritage) ... and a variety of other speakers and have them sounding GREAT in 10 minutes.
The problem, again, is that the buying public LIKES how Stereophile/Absolute Sound do things. It's an ego stroke .....
"My system was $78,000, and all Class A components"
In the meantime, my $15,000 Axiom system sounds better. And it isn't because it's "mine". It's because it was designed using real, solid engineering.
