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 ...

Nil & Jkalman - If you like a fuller souding drum recording (rock style) that will make your Watt Puppies/DAL's punch you in the stomach on the kick then try George Benson "On Broadway (live)" from Weekend in LA......probably the best recording of live drums that i have ever heard - no compression on this recording - so you can crank it and the sky is the limit!!!
cdc....from around 1983 to 2000 my stereo equipment buying habits rivaled any addict. through constant travel i do get to hear a lot....i try to keep others from stepping in the same sh#t i've probably stepped in...maybe even a few times.
