I don't recall the company involved, but there was an offer made a while back for 'beta testers' for some new speakers. I checked into it, and it turned out to be a sales pitch for the speakers at a discounted price, in return for a favorable review. No favorable review, no discount. Ignoring the sour taste that left in my mouth, I offered to do a real review, taking a full set of measurements of the stock system and the replacements. It wouldn't be my first review by any means, I did many when I was a contributing editor for Speaker Builder magazine. I am by profession a loudspeaker designer, so I have all the necessary gear and experience. My counter offer went unanswered.
