I think most if not all stereo magazines are paid by the manufacturers to review their equipment based on how much money they give to the magazine or to the person writing the reviews. They often will sell their gear at cost to the writer in order to receive a good review. Be curious to find out how much money they hand out for good reviews. My nephew wrote for Stereophile Magazine and Revel Harmon basically gave him the speakers he was reviewing. He paid a fraction of the cost for all of the equipment he owns as a result of writing an excellent review. Based on this, how many reviews are written to reveal the honest truth?
what's your opinion on the magazine 'stereo review'??
i started reading 'stereo review' back in the early 70's untill they retired. i used to buy their magazine every month. whatever i know about stereo equipment is what i've read in their magazine! any thoughts after all these years???
