Audio reviews: too many analogies, never simple, but most of all, never clear.


How many reviews have you read were it takes at least 2 paragraphs for the the reviewer to actually give 
hint this article is actually audio related or even gives mention to what he or she’s reviewing. Get to the subject matter. Leave out your less than perfect dramatic writing skills and lets start hearing about the actual review. I’d rather hear about comparisons between audio components than analogies between wine and taste related to transparency and how that gives rise to what they are getting ready say. What does wine have to do with audio transparency, nothing! Also they have a tendency to talk more about recordings that I’m sure 99% of the readers of the article have never heard of, or would ever listen to.
And when you looking for some sign of what they actually think of the components they’re reviewing they never give you a straight answer; it’s always something that leaves, at least for myself, asking, well where’s the answer.

Hey Teajay,
Want to answer my question that I and others have asked several times publically about the Tekton Ulf (the speaker you own that you raved about) vs the NSMT you reviewed. Seemed like it would be an OBVIOUS comparison in the review and now you still won't answer it. Wonder why that is? 
Hey mofojo,

You tickle my funny bone with this question! I purchased both speakers after reviewing them and use them in my different systems. Which do you like better a Porsche or Ferrari sports car? Oh, I’m sure you believe I have an underhanded and nefarious reason to not answer your question in the past. My position is they are both superlative world class reference level transducers with very reasonable prices for what you get compared to much more expensive speakers that they out perform. If you read my reviews regarding the details you can get a perspective of each models strengths and differences. Their is no "BEST" speaker, there’s lots of great speakers and it boils down to your room acoustics, synergy in your system driving them, and personal taste. For example, the Model 100 is physically a much smaller speaker then the giant Ulfs, and has a built in amp which powers an adjustable bass coupler 10 inch driver. Therefore, it will perform better in a much smaller space then Ulfs can.
Interesting comments - at lest some of them.  I always liked Fremers' reviews.  Always felt he reported what he heard, explained what he heard very well, and was honest.  After meeting him many years ago and hearing his system, then I felt I understood what he wrote much better as I could now hear what he was hearing.  Plus he is a very good person.

Happy Listening.
