At the time of the review some folks thought I overreacted to the reviewer. The points I made were that, he joined the same day, (maybe week) that the review was posted and that he disliked everything about the LSA 1 Statement, an unlikely event in that, while we all have preferences/likes/dislikes, it would be rare to dislike literally everything about a given speaker/amp and so on.
It's important to note that Peristalsis, the reviewer posted a total of 6 comments after reviewing, was on the site for a total of 16 days.
It's now, sadly apparent to any thinking person that what I suspected to be the case, turns out to be so...this was a put up job, intended to trash the LSA1 Statement, which has gotten universally rave comments other than this one abberant review.
I say this, knowing that some will again claim that 'he has a right to his opinion', etc. However when we look at this in a more global sense, this wasn't an opinion, but an attempt to smear--evidenced by his having joined for two weeks, writing a lengthy review, then disappearing so IMHO, one would have to be foolish to conclude otherwise.
I ask myself, who, what, when, where, why and how, the questions for all good mysteries--and suggest that Audiogon should be wary of brand new members offering up reviews which are incredibly negative in their tenor.
Good listening to all,
Larry
