ThomH might get a kick out of this.

Over on RAHE i posted a pointer to the Test & Meaurement article, which spawned an interesting
discussion. The most impassioned 'con' came from Gary Eickmeier, a RAHE semi-reg who's not a tweako nut but who *is* one of hte few audiophiles who likes Bose 901s and the Bose philisophy. He lit into what he thought was the Harman 'engineer-think' regarding speakers...eliciting a reply from Sean Olive himself.
(Olive and Floyd Toole are the two speaker gurus at Harman/JBL's multichannel speaker lab, one of the few facilities able to conduct large-scale blind comparisons of speakers).

It's rare to see replies to Usenet posts from this level of rebuttal-space ;>
