Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers

@passthedutchie 

A defective search is unlikely, as it is simply a widget of Google search you put into the website.  It can happen, though.  So you could be correct.

What is more common is someone tells the webmaster to have the search to disregard certain search results for whatever reason.  Amazon does this all the time with products or (more often) books it doesn’t want to promote or desires you to  go to a preferred product).

As someone who runs a company with a legal department, I don’t see a conspiracy.  I see a legal department or manager saying “this is trouble we don’t need and telling the webmaster to suppress the search results.

This is an unnecessary discussion, because you could have easily tested the matter for yourself...and in less time than it just took you to expand further on your misapprehensions.

Throw 10 or 20 varied search terms at the Stereophile website's query box and a good number of them will fail where plain old googling doesn't. Stereophile's search function is badly broken. It's been like that for years.

No, I can’t say I’ve had that experience on the website before and use it extensively.  Nor would that be consistent with how the typical software works.  It’s possible, if the website is set up such that text is intentionally not searchable by the crawlers for the search engines, but as far as I can tell it does not have that issue.

you have made an assertion that the stereophile website has a defective search engine.  That is possible, but the only evidence is your assertion.

The search engine isnt the only thing broken at Stereophile.

 @crustycoot , I agree with your comments on DALI EPIKORE-11.  I get that no everyone can afford $60K -or 80K up here in Canada-, on a pair of speakers, and that there are eventually diminishing returns.  But the EPIKORE-11 blew me away and actually made me feel that they're worth it.
