A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx

"POP!" Wow! I do feel better. You were right Mr. Fremer!
Actually, I thought that Mr. Hardesty's article was a bit unprofessional in the way he made such an issue of criticizing the reviews and opinions of you and other reviewers rather than concentrating more on the performance and musicality of the product. Your response to Mr. Hardesty was appropriate and done in a professional manner. My sarcasm stems from the fact that you chose the Audiogon market to vent your frustrations on; in my opinion, a poor choice. Stereophile is a very niche oriented publication. One would have to assume that the Audiogon “market” is indeed a priority target group. I concede that you are a better writer than my previous thread suggested. However, my twenty years in PR tells me you may have made a costly mistake. One that I believe merits a reprimand. There is always the possibility that all this "controversy" will bolster Stereophile’s marketing efforts, albeit a pretty risky strategy.

Thank you for your advice though. I really do feel better!

Wow! I want to work for Stereophile. My silly employer actually requires that I conduct myself in a professional manner, especially when making written responses. For some reason my employer believes that the Internet is a poor medium to use for conveying personal or negative feelings that relate to my profession. I think it's cool how Stereophile allows their reviewers to us words like, "SUCK", CRAP", "IDIOT" and "PISSED OFF" while representing their company in an open forum over the Internet. Darn! I wonder why my employer makes such a big deal about professional conduct. I guess it has something to do with integrity and representation. It seems like my employer is concerned with the whole "image thing." Like the public, you know, "consumers" and "target audience", might think poorly of the product my company markets just because I (a humble employee) might act like a selfish child and make a fool out of myself over a medium such as the Internet. Oh well, I do value my job. I just wish my employers were more "cool" like Stereophile. Gosh, I thought you needed to know how to write in order to write for a national publication. Hum. Go figure.
