Out of curiosity, not being a lawyerin' type...
Doesn't this go both ways? In principle, could a reviewer sue a company that claimed the reviewer was incompetent or in error or engaging in impropriety, where that company's claims turn out to be unsupported?
Frankly I think it's bogus either way and I absolutely hate the hyper-litigious atmosphere in the USA. But..just wondering.
Not so true. Because we don't have loser-pays and the barriers to awards of costs are quite high, the system is tilted toward plaintiffs including small-time plaintiffs. If the defendant has deep pockets, the plaintiffs will usually be able to get attorneys on a contingency. The goal of the attorney is to make the pre-trial expenses and hassle so large that the defendant pays go-away money.American tort laws are a ridiculous naked scheme of allowing the rich to bully the poor.
@amirm this is what I was referencing to. Looks like he is claiming he has some measurement on hand and is looking to find other measurements as well. I personally don't buy it.I saw he posted somewhere stating that he needs to go ask Jay Lee, the YouTube reviewer who also review this speaker that Erin did, to get the NRC measurements. That implies that he does not have measurements of his own and that he does not have any others from other parties at hand.
What this idiot doesn't realize is that Jay Lee is a run of the mill YouTuber, he does not send any speakers he review to the NRC for measurement. Eric Alexander is confused because Jay Lee sometimes do a "second take" review for Soundstage, who does get NRC measurements. And these Tekton's, I don't believe are a "second take" review for Soundstage, hence there are not NRC measurements.
So what do we know here from this? Eric Alexander has never, ever measured his speakers!!!!!! Not even gated, nor outdoor quasi anechoic measurements!!!
I know you are joking, but that would be vandalizing as good as it may feel, (1) it's not worth getting arrested for (2) that is only a minor inconvenience, we need to cause a major inconvenience such as get regular audiophiles to see Eric Alexander's behavior and character so that no one buys his trash speakersIt would be a damn shame if someone poked in all the Tekton tweeters at Axpona.
no it wouldn't.It would be a damn shame if someone poked in all the Tekton tweeters at Axpona.
I suspect he does have "some" measurements (gated, near-field, etc.). Question is whether those measurements actually support his claims. And at any rate, how accurate they could be to override anechoic measurements Erin and I have performed. The fact that he has not released them for some 6 months since I post my review, lends credence to his data not being good/sufficient to back his statements.@amirm this is what I was referencing to. Looks like he is claiming he has some measurement on hand and is looking to find other measurements as well. I personally don't buy it.
What do you make of it? I read one of them and it just made me laugh at how the whole patent system is broken.Some Patents:
Google Patents
Search and read the full text of patents from around the world with Google Patents, and find prior art in our index of non-patent literature.patents.google.com
To me, the real headline here is to avoid purchasing stuff from goofy, lunatic fringe brands like Tekton.
Not really, there the show was treated like a comedy sketch show instead of the judgement saying they didn't fake the results: "The courts ruled in favour of the BBC, saying that no viewer of the show would be likely to reasonably compare the Roadster's performance on the show with its performance in the real world."This case sounds like Tesla vs Top Gear, were Tesla sued, or
It would be a damn shame if someone poked in all the Tekton tweeters at Axpona.
I disagree completely with this. He needs to stay in business and measure his speakers.such as get regular audiophiles to see Eric Alexander's behavior and character so that no one buys his trash speakers
