I heard the Fremonts at RMAF 07 and liked what I heard. The sound was open and spacious with what I thought a bit of overhang on the bottom end. Listening to this speaker, I would not expect a frequency graph to depict the results published in Stereophile.
Stereophile review of Escalante Fremont
Has anyone read Stereophile review (Feb '08) of Escalante Design Fremont spkrs ?
Reviewed by Larry Greenhill & measured by Jon Atkinson .
How come they make a review of the spkrs without proper setup :
- LG didn't attached the stand spikes because of his new wood floor & put some bad comments (nasal / coloured tonal).
- JA measured the spkrs with above condition .
- No information if the spkrs burned-in
In my experience , result could be very sensitive for full range spkrs setup ( freq. resp : 18 hz - 50 khz ) .
How can such a great magazine editor allow to publish review with above condition ?
Really different with Positive-Feedback (by Greg Weaver) & Stereo Times (by Dave Thomas & Greg Petan) reviews .
This three reviewers has bought Fremont after made the review .
Seems our international respectable Stereophile magazine has a lot of degradation in their quality .
Is there politics inside this magazine ?
What a waste review ... i think ...
