Ok I guess I have some bad news guys, on which I'd like to have your opinion...
Yesterday Kaliaudio presented a new German review on the IN-8's in their FB page:
. There was a guy that commented there, saying that the comments underneath the review got him frustrated because people were claiming that Kali sends different - better performing - samples for testing to the reviewers, than the original versions intended for consumers. At first I thought it would just be haters but there was a reference to the "In The Mix" youtube channel that counts over half a million subscribers! It is run by a guy named Micheal who had made a raving review about the lp-6's . And guess what, he has deleted the video!!!
On top of that this guy commenting in the FB page upoaded screenshots of comments of another "In The Mix" video where people were asking him about the deleted lp-6 video and he admitted that his pair started developing issues as well as that he compared his pair to other ones he happened to hear - probably after complaints of their owners - and they were indeed lower level sounding quality wise. He also stated that he had a few more issues with the company and that all that led him to not want to support them anymore, thus leading him to delete the video.
What is even more frustrating is that despite FB shows there are 8 comments on that post, I can only see one, even when "All comments" is selected. Are you experiencing the same, guys? Could it be that Kali is blocking unwanted comments ? Also this guy was refering to Amir's review as well, noting that the review turned from bad to good as soon as Kali themselves sent directly the new testing speaker, rather than sending it from a retail store...
I don't know what to say, this is really bad for me because If there is one thing I liked about "In The Mix" was that this guy Micheal was sincere and humble in his videos. (It is not by chance that he got so many subscribers.) But I believed the same thing about Kaliaudio as well. Let's just hope this is all a misunderstanding that will clear up soon.
(I will try to find and screenshoot Michael's comments myself because I think it was from another speaker review, since he was holding a speaker in his hands in the screenshot if I remember well.)
