Off topic but what do you think of the current hifi main reviewer on AV Forums? Comes across as a what hi-fi wannabe. Shame as their tv reviews have always been technical excellence.
Wondering if all this unwarranted threatening and saber rattling by Teckton could met with combined effort by ASR, EAC, AH and others with cease and desist request filing with a Fed or State court?
Quoting myself as a second reminder to keep this conversation respectful and professional. No personal insults will be permitted.We might be thinking it. But thinking to oneself and posting it are two entirely different things. If you make another post like the previous post expect to be banned and posting privileges revoked.
Keep these posts clean and professional or don’t post. We have let this thread go unmoderated for the most part but we have limits. Please don’t push us into a corner.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
I’m not so sure about that…. You’re probably correct for this community,
We all hope Mr. Alexander is going to invest in serious measuring equipment, listen to comments & critics, work hard, and come up with a new range of great speakers
But he could just as well discontinue his range of low end speakers and focus instead on the super high end & custom business—business as usual…

I don't think that's true at all.
Confirm this point of view. If one of the first dozen hits on G-search is from ASR or EAC this impacts a lot (beneficially).

It was this review of the Onkyo TX-SR608 that tipped me over the edge. My experience with receivers at that point was mixed to say the least, and I thought this one was the worst I had heard. I tried hard to be impartial, and find positive things to say about it. I actually managed to dig up an old Sony receiver for comparison that was even worse, so I could put some positive spin on it. I still got raked over the coals, like the importer thought it was my duty to provide him with another promotional channel. My view was that at that point I had generated some trust within the community that I would tell them what they wanted to hear, rather than what the advertisers wanted to hear. Otherwise what's the point of reviews. I hope I came across as saying that it was compromised, without being too rude.Now you have to tell us which manufacturer
All the current reviews get high scores, and are "recommended" or "top pick" or whatever, and people are starting to push back and complain about the value of the review.

Thanks for the revealing, courageous.

No need to donate anymore. An attorney member kindly helped Erin to get through this and he has post an updated review, showing that issues that Eric Alexander of Tekton had brought up were immaterial. He also showed threatening emails he had received from Eric telling him to delete his review or else.
We are discussing in the parallel thread if we need to have a formal organization to help with these matters in the future.

This will all blow over soon. One rogue manufacturer isn’t going to start copycat litigations, in fact it’s a good lesson to not be so rash. I was just at Axpona yesterday. It’s a tough world being a manufacturer and break through. No one wants bad press.
A foundation to protect hobby reviewers seems like an overreaction but what do I know?

Wow, even the Tekton Design Facebook page has become a clusterfrack of negativity over Mr. Alexander's behavior -- if shooting oneself in the foot ever becomes an Olympic event, that dude would be a medalist!
