Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews

One good thing (although it could be bad) about Stereophile is that their review crew is relatively stable. So you really get to know the reviewer's tastes and biases. Personally, I like more comparison tests, and for the reviewers to go through their memory bank more often to remember what they liked better.

I have no problems with those "good value" comments. Most of these products have happy owners, meaning that they aren't horrible products. Btw. Don't manufacturers get an advanced copy of the review (from some print or online review mags) and when it's a bash, they can decide whether to pull the review or not?

At Stereophile, they get an advanced copy to which they may respond with in "Manufacturers' Comments." They cannot pull the review.

That's what I thought, judging from some of the angry manufacturer's comments I read over the past years :P

Why waste review space on rubbish?!?

"Why waste review space on rubbish?!?"

Nrchy are you saying that Von Schweikert speakers are rubbish? Wade
