Brutal is right.
I've read some of Hardesty's articles a few years ago and enjoyed them and even had the pleasure to meet him at CES earlier this year.
At the very least, Hardesty brings up some interesting points. How valid or invalid they may be matters little to me. I will say that this is not the first time I've heard such statements about the Wilsons.
But considering the risks of a review like this I seriously doubt Hardesty didn't "do his damn homework" as somebody above exclaimed.
I could be wrong but I think the audioperfectionist is Hardesty's primary source of income. Regardless, for him to write such an insincere review is professional suicide.
Forget whether he's right or wrong. If he wrote this with even a hint of a "get even" attitude as another put it, he's probably done.
If he's sincere but sincerely wrong, he has potentially seriously damaged his reputation.
If he's right but with wrote with ill-motives, he has potentially seriously damaged his reputation.
If he's right and wrote with proper motives, he's a real standup guy willing to risk his profession and there's going to be a lot of angry customers.
In other words, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize the odds are not in Hardesty's favor to pen such an unfavorable review.
Certainly Hardesty realizes this. Even if others don't.
-IMO
