Mainstream reviews-why so few?


I have a question as to why certain products, such as the Green Mountain Audio Europa speakers, raved about on audiogon, receive so little mainstream press exposure? Maybe there are several reasons, but I am just curious. Thanks in advance for any comments.

I have a lot of respect for Roy Johnson but I am lost as to just what "sound molecules" might be.
Also find myself wondering about this new buzz about "time and phase coherent" being the result of first order crossovers. Aren't the many single-driver designs going to be perfectly time and phase coherent because they are point sources using no crossover?
Agree with Macro, seems the most 'well respected speakers:" I've heard (Big ad campaigns) can't hold a candle next to Tyler's , who spends not a dime on "promoting"
hehe
Now think about it. Isn't life, just like THAT.??

The mags are not our friends. I avoid the stereo mags like the plague.
Bartokfan,

If you avoid the audio mags like the plague, where do you get so much misinformation? Are there other sources?
Bartokfan, This is not a hit but you don't get out much do you? I mean we realize the only 2 speakers you have owned or at least liked were Phillips based drivers, or Seas based drivers? But you drive it home in such weird ways with these posts and like end of the world attraction to this guy Ty.. I think he is actually scared of you or would be if he knew your demeanor on these forums. Its just strange man sorry.
Songwriter, Macrojack, and Bartokfan, and everybody:

Clearly, from above statements, what is needed is side by side comparison among GMA, Zu and Tyler, if it could be arranged. We can also throw in Ddedelus, Adagio, Ridge Street Sasson, etc., as they inspire equal passion in others

Sometimes, it appears to me that we have become like those we profess to despise: the mainstream rags.

Reviews and assessments here typically praise one speaker, talk a little about the designer's personal story, declare his creation to be "better than models costing 2 or 3 times as much". I don't even miss the ads; many posts read like one. Compared to mainstream rags, graphs are really the only thing missing.
