Mainstream reviews-why so few?


I have a question as to why certain products, such as the Green Mountain Audio Europa speakers, raved about on audiogon, receive so little mainstream press exposure? Maybe there are several reasons, but I am just curious. Thanks in advance for any comments.

Some sell by word of mouth and less through reviews.

Do Green Mountain buy lots of advertising space in the audio magazines? If not then they are less likely to be reviewed.

Ford trucks get big advertising in North America, but demanding customers tend to choose Land Cruisers in remote locations. It is a niche market but I suspect audiophiles may be similar picky customers...that go by word of mouth and experience rather than what they read/see in the media.
client lists are probably the best advertising, IMHO, I never trust reviews....a mixed bag, IMHO.
