Human Loudspeaker Review Thread Was Removed


Hi all. The thread I started about a review for the Human Loudspeaker Model 81 was removed for, according to the email I got, being spam.

I have no Financial stake in Human, and had, as many other purchasers have done here, tried to report on a product based on the ownership experience. I paid for the speakers as would any customer.

The review will go on another forum. The spam accusation is laughable. 

But, it is their site. The mods here can do as they please.

Probably some resident dealer doesn't like that Human sells U.S. made speakers for <$600/pair that can embarrass others costing many times more.

Helomech ... that was going to be the gist of the review: are they a great value or a speaker ideal whose time has come and gone? I don't do this for anything other than love of the hobby. 






Can you add a synopsis of your review here?  Very curious to hear your thoughts!
jb - I will see what can be done to get it over here once it is finished.

James - that is not only an honest question, it's a great one. I will do my best to dig into that. 
I have founds that the mods here delete first and ask questions....well, never. There is no reason a review by a member should be removed. And if that is the policy of Audiogon I'll probably move on for good.
It’s possible that it was removed by automated software that I believe was put in place to deal with the flood of spam we had here in the past few months, until it was recently brought under control by various measures Audiogon put in place.

The statement that "one of our moderators or admins have removed this discussion" which appears when the link for your review is clicked on does not necessarily mean that a moderator or admin decided to remove the thread. That statement even appears when the originator of a thread decides to delete it.

You might want to email Audiogon Support and ask for it to be reinstated.

Well if they are going to let geoffkait keep spamming his business its only fair they let Human slide. I mean, even the inHuman seems tame by comparison. http://www.humanspeakers.com/human/inhuman.htm

Al - I actually received an email from the mods that it had been removed. I did save the opening post on Word. Thanks for the tip - I will drop them a line.

Millercarbon - Human is not involved in the thread. The only investment I have in Human is buying the speakers. The "inHuman" is old fashioned audio humor, like "Lirpa Labs" from Audio Magazine (Lirpa is April spelled backwards - Lirpa Labs was for April Fool's day - they would post impossible products that were hilarious). 

That being said, you are quite right. The amount of "marketing" here that goes unchecked is rather voluminous. 

I am talking to a 3rd American speaker company about its product line, too - First was Ohm, then the Humans, and hopefully a third later this year.

viridian, there was a time that responding to trolls was fun. That ended somewhere around 2005. Have a nice life.

Just a guess that they're a great value based on my experience with the EPI 100s. I recently bought a refurbished pair out of curiosity. They can compete well with many current $1K - $2K/pair standmounts IMO. So if the Humans are even better, they must be a special value at $540/pair.
OP: You posted this “review” in the wrong forum sub-topic. Try reposting in “Member Reviews” instead of “Speakers.”
millercarbon: Aren’t you one of the members who criticizes Geoff and posts links to his website? 

Seems to me you should not complain when you are largely responsible for much of Geoff’s publicity. 
I vacillate between ignoring the nonsensical word salad of irrelevance and linking to his work so others can see and judge for themselves the credibility of our self-proclaimed "reigning theoretical physicist."


Whoa! Someone is posting links to my web site?! Promote that man!
