DK Design Group X-Dream - wow

I really don't see where this "review" is any different than any other published review. When isn't a review paid for by the manufacturer? Isn't it normal for the manufacturer to foot the entire cost of "loaning" equipment to the reviewer? A paid for factory tour/junket is a pretty standard marketing ploy.

As far as not using DK amps for the demo - if this site is typical, there's a large number of audiophiles who simply will not accept that DK amps are high performance products. The same cannot be said for BAT and Pass. It might be seen as an attempt to add credibility to the speaker, but based upon the above reactions it seems to have back fired. Let's see if BAT starts demoing their amps with DK speakers. It looks like an interesting product.

I find it funny that some many people trash reviewers, the review process and specific reviews as being worthless paid for advertising when the earlier DK amp rollout showed how many of you are wannabe reviewers. While the Positive Feedback piece reads more like a press release than some other product reviews, fundamentally it really is no different than other reviews. Whether the equipment is heard in the reviewer's home, at an audio show or at the factory site, the manufacturer foots the bill. There's no more pressure on this reviewer than any other reviewer.
