Owners of speakers by obscure companies chime in

So how come Stereophile and Absolute Sound never review these products?

I think they tend to give priority of reviews to companies that give them advertizing revenues - after all Stereophile is not a charity it is actually in business to make you buy stuff - and given the rate of new models put out each and every year.... I mean just look at how many speakers are made by B&W alone - it is as many as Imelda Marcus has shoes.

Think about it - "mix and match" audio - would you like this tweeter with one two or three of this driver, tall size or full figured, how about a bright yellow midrange and while we are at it, lets stick the tweeter on top and put a fold around it and make it look just like part of the female anatomy... I mean it really is kind of a joke but audio has become more about fashion and provocative looks than anything at all to do with sound. Of course, B&W are smart and know this and are successful.

Very well said Shadorne.
Actually, I kind of like small companies that just have 1 or 2 models. I like to think that they concentrate their best efforts. AudioMachina and Ridgestreet come to mind.

I mean, JMLabs and B&W confuse me, each having multiple parallel lines that overlap. (Utopia line vs. Electra? Huh?)
Even car companies aren't this confused.

Yeah, all these bells and whistles annoy me too. I'm not wearing the things.
Just give me a black box that sounds good. I don't want to pay for that aesthetic stuff.

By the way, any one care to comment on the Ridgestreet Sason vs. SPtech Timepiece 3.0/mini?
In my research on the forums, these 2 companies seem to get unanimous, voluminous high praise with just a few offerings.

consider mark and daniel and sanders sound systems.

i will be procuring a pair of the sanders model 10 b within 2 months. it is being custom designed to lower the crossover point of the woofer to 150 hz.

I have the Timpiece Minis, and there is nothing that I have heard that can compare>> from SPTECH. The price is reasonable for world clas performance. I asked Stereophile why they won't review companies such as these and they told me not enough dealers??

Also, SPTECH offers a 30 day trial I believe.

Note, what speaker for $2500 can actually produce the vibration feel of individual instruments which makes the sound as close to real as possible?
