Why is it that Stereophile has no Von Schweikert reviews in there archives? Did Albert piss them off? How would you rank Stereophile magazine against their competitors such as The Absolute Sound and others. Who is your favorite? Thanks
No magazine can review every piece of high end gear made. It is simply not possible. Jependleton is right, they only review the gear that is sent to them.
Art Dudley's column is one of the only redeaming features that keeps me subscribing to Stereophile. I also like the music reviews and interviews. I prefer TAS though for the monthly centerfold and full-on wet IEC outlet shot.

PS Rumor in the industry is that Von Schweikert's speakers don't "put out" so the Stereophile editors blackballed'em.
Check out the online magazine, "Stereo Times", for VSA speaker reviews. At last look they had reviewed five different pairs over the past few years. You can find these in Archives.
A lot of manufacturers don't want to be reviewed by Stereophile because they know their products will not show well in John Atkinson's measurements. So they go for magazines where there are no numbers to compete with a subjective reviewer's predictably ga-ga prose.
Not only no VS but never saw any reviews on Hyperion either. These 2 manufacturers' speakers have been reviewed by almost every review mag except Stereophile.
