First world problems on steroids - When prospective customers complain that a few days isn't enough time to review 6 figure audio gear.
Thank you.As far as doing the review at the dealers he suggested that the amp was too heavy to install in his room and limited in availability. However, the amp weighs quite a bit less than the speakers that made it into his listening room and as far as not being available, if the manufacturer doesn’t have an item available for review, it’s not available for review. It’s not up to TAS to work around that. Mr. Harley made no attempt to explain how he was about to sort out what characteristics of the sound were caused by the items under review and which were from the unfamiliar ancillary equipment.
Have you read the reviews of the amp and the speakers? I was surprised at how well he’d captured the character of these pieces.On the question of whether a review can be done in a day through a store visit, I agree it’s ridiculous. At best, one can form an impression.
Yes I have read the reviews. I have also listened to them, though in show conditions. I love their electronics which is evident from the fact that I have been using them now for 15 years. I still feel one needs to live with the electronics/components for sometime ( or listen to them in different settings) to be able to opine conclusively. I agree though one can get an overall impression of their strengths and weaknesses in an intensive 2-days session.Have you read the reviews of the amp and the speakers?

Obviously they were done in the course of a focused, intense two day store visit. In my view, the impression must have been mighty powerful.
I have often been able to dismiss products in less than an hour. And I’ve often found a few hours to be more than enough to sort out the strengths of great products over the course of two days.
RH is not a newbie. He went with a purpose and a plan. We all have our playlists to reveal specific strengths or flaws. RH showed here that he is a worthy pro.
