In Reply to: Is this much different than audio reviewers? posted by grantv on January 5, 2006 at 09:48:22:
Actually I think Audio magazines are very different because they take advertising money -- conflict of interest (some movie reviewers do as well) but generally that is not the case. Where it gets dicey with magazine audio reviews is when a reviewer absolutely BLASTS a speaker like a TAS reviewer did with the Wilson Watt is that the magazin editor never published it and instead hired a lacky to say great stuff about it. I don;t have a problem with the magazine getting a second opinion -- they should have published both.UHF magazine reamed a few products from Arcam and Bryston -- have not seen them get sent another product since. Yet Linn has taken some on the chin from UHF but they still send products.
Ebert has given less than 2 stars to hugely popular films and OR critically acclaimed films like Splash, Priest, The Usual Suspects
