Would you donate a dollar to have these Members Review a Product?


So, I've been thinking that there are a number of hifi products that I would love to hear or, at least, reviewed by folks I know and respect.  I then thought what if a panel of fellow members each listened and reviewed the product.  

I'd pay money to read (or watch/hear) ericsquires, wolfgarcia, millercarbon, and georgehifi each receive the same amp, speaker, etc. and review it.

Reviews Can have Some merit, but usually it isn't so much about the sound that grabs me. Using a product will educate you soon enough about things such as whether a remote has the needed features and ease of use, for example. Yes, you can read about it in the manufacturers ad, but they won't include statements that you may automatically trust. I like to know that a chassis is well made, or that switches and knobs don't have some kind of funkiness to them. I could go on, yes, but these observations too are important to me as a consumer. 
 Knowing about the reviewer also lets me trust, or not, his taste in music and more. So many times when I am reading a review, I am wishing that the reviewer would just get to the point, and not run comparisons to wine, cars or seemingly related topics (to him, that is).
