First full review of the Verdant Blackthorns in Enjoy the Music

So....I am pretty excited.  Verdant just received it's first review of the Blackthorns, our flagship speaker and I am pretty excited.  It is rare to have someone say such nice things about something you created so I thought I would share with you guys as this is pretty exciting for me.

The Shoestring Audiophile (who is a great guy and has a great BLOG for value oriented consumers) reviewed my Nightshades more than a year ago but this is sort of next level as it is in one of the more noteworthy publications and Michael is a Music Professor.   Hope you guys enjoy.

These speakers may be very fine, but I find that particular reviewer all over the place in his reviews. There's way too much personal back slapping, and I don't think that he did the maker any favors in the end when he mentions all of the different things that he plans to try in the future; like tower speakers, different bass loadings (isobaric, transmission line) and crossovers. I left me with the impression that he may be gifted, but that everything he does is an experiment, and a work in progress rather than a finished product. 
Who wants to buy a $10k work in progress?

verdantaudio,
Please excuse my misunderstanding. I always wish the best for new designers starting out because I think that they often have fresher perspectives and approaches to design.
I spoke out of turn because the comments at the end of the review gave a confusing impression.
I hope that you have great success going forward. The speakers are certainly beautiful.
