Probably something about your behavior, John.


If you say so, Mr. Krueger. I had put it down to the
problems S&V was having in the market, specifically
poor advertising sales and a catastrophic drop in
circulation renewals. Theseresulted in last year's
firing of most of the S&V editorial staff and the halving
of the rate-base circulation.


As I said elsewhere, the magazine has become a gadget
publication. I think the owners want it to be the National
Enquirer of the home-entertainment journalism business. They
should just opt to let it be a good magazine for AV hobby
enthusiasts, and also make a point of doing educational
articles like what we once read in Stereo Review, Audio, and
even sometimes Stereophile.
