Well, hold on now because a.) the assumption @gvl made all the way back in post #11 turned out to be true, and b.) our desire to "get some knowledge" is exactly what lead to this entire debate. Two people--the reviewer and the manufacturer--had shared knowledge of the product's genesis that they did not immediately reveal. They were not obligated to disclose this knowledge but ethically-speaking the optics of this situation turned some heads. Thanks to the manufacturer's clarifications and answers, we are all better-educated now.To many false assumptions leading to combative unsupported opinions. Get some knowledge and understanding of a topic before entering into debate.
On this forum outstripping expertise can lead to individuals being seen as foolish. Admin is very tolerant but it is up to members to establish some credibility re their views. Supportable facts help heaps.
To March Audio's credit, as others have said, he didn't have to do that. If I put myself in his shoes, I have to admit it takes guts to go out on a limb and decide the Tone Board is going to be too tough to beat, reach out to the OEM and make an official arrangement, finance a run of the units, and then have to present the results to the ASR forum for critical analysis.
