Hmmmmmm, think some of the myths are directed at any company in particular.... Like maybe several of them...... Hmmmmmm....... Some apply to another brand they carry in their online store.... Also heavily benefitting from research at the NRC. Also canadian. They dont seem to mind the profits I'm sure.  . Maybe they forgive the myth when there is a paycheck at the end of the rainbow. Gotta get heavier free weights for hugo there....

/Jeff I did both. I wonder if the granite speaker sounds good. Funny they should cautiously mention bose, I'm having difficulty with how good our portable unit sounded while we were on the road. From 3' away, with no other sound to compete with, and just loud enough to enjoy while everyone slept, I could picture the (empty) venue in my mind very very clearly.

Somehow I recall that I've seen parts of this before & is a compilation of some critical articles over the past couple of years.
As before, I would say that 'most' are veiled comments directed at 'you know who'.
The one that slays me is criticisms of a speaker manufacturer that designs & builds its own drivers in house - like that's a bad thing - closely followed by criticizing a manufacturer that uses, of all things, a large Anechoic Chamber for research & testing that is fully equipped with the best, annually calibrated electronics to measure speakers from virtually every angle.
Honestly, I don't get it...

I can be thinly veiled too.
If someone is running a supposedly unbiased, review site that is all about the actual measurements, but accepts advertising dollars, can you trust them? If this website sings the praises of a particular speaker maker, but when that maker stops buying ads there, they change their tune. Regardless of whether the speakers are any good or not, that says a lot about the integrity of the review site. When that review site starts running their own store selling products that they say rate highly, why would you still take any thing they say seriously? If review site hires a family member to visit the forum of a speaker maker and harass their customers on a daily basis, why would you even mention the name of that review site, or even post links to them? They deserve no attention or money from ad impressions from visitors.

Audioholics is one of the main reasons I went with Axiom originally. Anymore, I'd put a lot more stock in what Ian and Andrew say about speaker design than what AH says. The size of their vendetta is bewildering to me. The best way to show you know how to make speakers is to make your own speakers. Non-stop cutesy dogging of a manufacturer is simply how you embarrass yourself.

Thats how i found out about axiom too. Tom Andry used to use M22s and gush over them. They would test a sub once a month it seemed. Always to huge fanfare. I dont listen to his show anymore. Audioholics was founded on exposing truths in audio. Turns out there are only so many artcles possible in that vein before the soup gets cold. Now, they spice things up with a little bithchiness in their articles. To say the least, Audioholics is a fairweather review site. Its too bad HTmag merged with SandV. Too beginner now.

It was an excellent buy! I just got it set up today and have limited experience but based on the improvements in the v4 LFRs I'm expecting great things!

Cohesion that's going to be one badass setup once you have everything running.

Was it proven that the person that was doing the harassing related or hired by Gene DellaSala?
