Mark,

In your review you state:

"The tweeters used in the UNI-Q driver are quite special and don't have any break-up modes until you hit 40kHz which keeps the break-up point well outside of the audio band. "

How do you know, did you run any measurements?

Mark,

Congrats and well done. Very nicely written. A few years ago (before Genesis), I started up an audio magazine in Singapore, and tried to write a review... even published a couple. Now, I think that it's far easier to design a loudspeaker than to review one. You did a very good job..... now how about if I send you a pair of my speakers to review?

Day-um! Nice piece, well written, gets to the point, as your posts do here. Hope you had fun doing it- I find when I'm writing 'for work,' I'm constantly editing, rewriting, etc. If the muse was with you, you should do more! I enjoyed reading it. And, since you like to take on sacred cows, maybe there's a market for someone who can take on some of the gear that others rave about, and look at it with a critical eye. (Some reviews of retro fi might be good too, but probably less marketable as audio journalism -though Art Dudley does a fair amount).
Congrats!

No, I did not perform the measurements, but measurements have been taken.

I think my next review will be an amp. I'm waiting on direction right now. You don't take this gig for the money, you do it because you love audio and writing.

John-Myles can chime in here. I really won't know until I receive the first piece of gear.
