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

Some manufacturers (namely over at Audio Circle) pre-launch gear with a "Tour" of specific equipment, which consists of a pre-tour sign-up list, and a commitment by each person on the tour stop to:

• pay shipping to the next person on the tour, and 
• to post a short review or comments of their impressions of the gear.  

I participated in the Tortuga tube buffer tour about 1-2 years ago and things were civilized and well-run. 
As a twist on the OP's idea, maybe the folks here could talk a few manufacturers into offering a "tour" of certain equipment, either popular pieces or maybe new-to-the-market equipment where the word is not out yet.  The manufacturer gets free publicity from this group and the benefit that only people interested in the specific equipment on tour would sign up, which means the reviewer's ancillary system equipment and their personal sonic preferences should be aligned with the gear being reviewed.  One way to start would be for Audiogon to organize tours of gear by manufacturers who advertise on this site.

There are reviewers who I trust, and then those who are in it for the wrong reasons, and obviously getting big kickbacks from companies for a good review. We’d be fooling ourselves to think otherwise.

That’s an extraordinary claim. Do you have any actual proof?

I’d agree that there are quite a few unreliable - even inept - reviewers. After all, there are no prerequisites for the job. But the allegation of "big kickbacks" is a bit far-fetched.

Agree with @cleeds on the accusation of "kickbacks."
However, regarding reviewer reliability, I have seen reviews where I have questioned the reviewer's conclusions after seeing that their review system and sonic preferences were not well aligned with the gear being reviewed.

If a reviewer reviews a pair of $650,000 Wilson speakers and decides he wants to buy them for himself the standard industry comp is what, 50% off? That’s a pretty sweet deal in my book. I suspect the reviewer’s published review of those Wilson speakers would be rather complimentary, perhaps even gushing.
