I feel let down by Issue #105-Sept/Oct 2005. For a magazine with the motto: "Helping Audiophiles & Music Lovers to spend less & get more," why is the BeoLab 5 Loudspeaker on the cover and why was a review of this strange, high-priced loudspeaker even in the magazine? Regarding the cover, is it true that a manufacturer can pay to be on the cover v. have the cover content illustrate the magazine's motto? David Moran's quote: the "finest loudspeaker system designed and manufactured thus far," was placed on the cover, yet in his review (just preceding that quote) he criticizes 1) the cost, 2) the "voicing", 3) the EQ, and 4) the appearance. Following those criticisms, there's not much left to recommend the speaker ... Or is one to accept that good off-axis response trumps all other characteristics of a speaker?
I was even further disappointed to see that the cover of Issue #105 only listed that a review of the Linkwitz "Orion" speaker was inside. For that speaker, Glenn Strauss writes that the Orion "is the finest loudspeaker known to me," and he struggles to find something to "nit-pick." Given the prices and purchasing options, for a customer to build some, all, or none of that speaker, the "Orion" seems ...
