"They didn't like it, so no review."
Nonsense.
Nonsense.
"I Just wanted people to be aware of the politics involve in reviews from Stereophile" There are no "politics" involved in this matter. See JA's statement at http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/critics/messages/5/59144.html Magnepan wanted a review that was not accompanied by objective measurements. JA measures all speakers submitted for regular reviews and, consequently, Magnepan chose not to respond to his request for the 3.7s. |
That's why every honest and capable reviewer has had his/her corpus callosum transsected. This permits each cerebral hemisphere to operate independently as a check on the other. The left hemisphere actually does the writing but the right hemisphere assesses the sound while remaining unbiased by the content of PR, advertising or other comments. Interhemispheric communication is accomplished by diffusely-acting neuromodulatory mechanisms. The small price for this is a reduced appreciation of sound localization and imaging giving rise to higher demands for these parameters. |
