Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined?

I couldn’t resist one somewhat more realistic test (this could get addictive):

Question:

Write a review of the Bowers and Wilkins 801 D3 speakers, in the style of John Atkinson.

ChatGPT’s answer:

The Bowers and Wilkins 801 D3 speakers are a true tour-de-force in audio engineering. From the moment I unboxed them and began my listening tests, I was struck by their build quality and attention to detail.

The diamond dome tweeters are a highlight, with their ability to deliver crystal clear high frequency reproduction that is both detailed and natural-sounding. The Kevlar cone mid/bass drivers also impressed, providing a solid foundation for the music with deep, tight bass and well-defined mids.

The Matrix bracing system does an admirable job of reducing cabinet resonances, which in turn results in minimal distortion and an overall more accurate sound.

The 801 D3s are not only impressive technically but also in their aesthetic design, they are a real conversation piece, with a sleek and stylish design that will complement any room they are placed in.

The only downside is the price, which is quite steep, but for those who can afford them, the Bowers and Wilkins 801 D3 speakers are an excellent investment and will provide years of listening pleasure.

@sfgak best thing I’ve read on this forum.  If the creative juices are still flowing, how about one ala Charles Bukowski.

I did not renew my subscriptions with both TAS and Stereophile. Too much speaking up products of companies who advertise with them. Don"t need that.

You're hired!

At age 69, I've been reading audiophile magazines for 50 years. I've cut back to just Stereophile because their mix of equipment, music, and personalities is consistently the best. But to survive, they need to attract a younger, newer, and less affluent audience just beginning their audio and musical journey. They may even need to sell the idea of the audio journey to their new market. They can't just keep reviewing exclusively exotic componentry for their existing audience and remain relevant.
