Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

I bought TAS magazine yesterday, second time this year. It is year afar yeas the more boring and boring to read Robert Harley. All his massaging of Reality and try to put the industry’s problems and idiocy into a mask of rationale and cheap sophistication got more and more saturated with primitive clichés and feeling that he writes for kindergarten children. I read two of his articles in this TAS: one is announcement of Series 2 of Wilson Alexandria and another about new Revel loudspeaker. The glorious BS that Robert Harley spread about new Revel Salon probably should become a subject of my dedicated public objection at my site. Those Robert Harleyes keep pushing the Industry Sponsored Sound deeper and deeper toward that sonic surrogate that the 95% of audio Morons out there are so eagerly and gullibly embraced.

Anyhow, purpose of this article is to pay attention how primitively Robert Harley sells to public the introduction of Wilson Alexandria Series 2. The “cook up” story about David Wilson “discover a new Sound” was very romantic. I wonder why  Harley’ colleges Marc Mickelson, Jeff Fritzm and Ken Kessler who reviewed the  Wilson Alexandria never mention that the speaker had shortcomings. Interesting that David Wilson addressed (according to Robert Harley) in his new Series 2 the problems that Robert Harley desired to sell to public not the problems that the Wilson Alexandria in fact had.

Robert Harley presents the Series 2 even as some kind of unique opportunity forgetting to mention that each Wilson speaker had many-many revisions. I was wonder also how a change of a driver and a crossover (probably for less expensive) would affect price for near $20K more? Would it be more honest to say that that since 4-5 years as Alexandria was introduced the dollar dropped too much and it was time to change the price? Would it be also more honest to say that it was time for Wilson to “turn over” the customers who have already bought, injecting them with a new “revision”? What the beast way to do it? Probably to hire a “big mouth” that is willing broadcast any prescribed for him BS? No criticism, no analyses, no person sonic integrity of any kind – juts a stupid stream of standard drooling adjectives and battering  up a glory over own journalistic mediocrity.  It was exactly what Robert Harley did – good job, Baba!
