To Dave, I say this: I understand you
were conducting and writing the review in parts, published
one at a time before the entire thing was done. In my humble
opinion, this was a major miscalculation. There is so much
bad blood on this NG that posting reviews in parts was bound
to feed the flames, not suppress them.


I agree Michael, and have said so.

I've followed as best I can, but obviously I'm weeks behind
all of this.


The problem was, I was getting plowed by work and wasn't able to
schedule my reviewing time the way I wanted to. Things were starting
to drag out a little more than I had hoped and I wanted to put my
comments together while they were still fresh from the listening
sessions. So, I made a mistake and didn't write a "typical" review. I
didn't *want* the review to become a three or four week sort of thing.
So I tried doing it in segments. Obviously, that didn't work. I should
have just done a massive distillation and written a 500 word review.
Of course, Greg probably would have found problems with that as well.

He may or may not have found problems with that approach,
but I think it would have been the best one, given the
loaded nature of the issue.

However, life does get in the way sometimes.


Also, I knew going in to this knowing the possibility that I wouldn't
be able to satisfy *anyone*, so I'm not exactly whining about
anything. I simply did what any normal person would do and terminated
things immediately. I was doing Greg a favor, after all. I didn't mind
a public dialog as I had addressed a few points that he raised early
on, but when he went after my ability to judge his speakers, that was
the end.

The enduring difficulty: reviewers ar eloved and hated for
their opinions, and the processs one chooses to use to
arreive at that opinion. I would have liked to see the
entire thing completed.


Godd to see you back and in fine form!
Thank you, sir.


BTW, look for these threads:

P/review of Jupiter Audio Europa speakers pt.1

(about halfway through this thread, you'll find the actual "Part Two"
because I had forgotten to rename the thread).

Then look for pt 3, which is the segment that apparently broke the
camel's back for Greg.

I'm readiong them now.
