Favorite reviewer?

J. Gordon Holt, founder of Stereophile. He stated

"If the midrange isn’t ‘right’ nothing else matters" See this

and

"That so-called laid-back middle range (now known as the "BBC dip," after their design of the LS3/5A) has become an epidemic among high-end loudspeakers. Richness and unctiousness are In, realism is absolutely Out. "

Those statements were in 1985.

Sad to see he writes so very little now, although, reportedly, he has more time to enjoy his ATC SCM 50 ASL at home.(yet another quite shameless plug for my favorite mid range)

Art Dudley. Our politics are very different, but he's a great writer. We've corresponded a little in the past, and I found him to be a very nice guy as well.

I think audio reviewers should be treated like rock stars, have groupies, hot women (or men if that's their style) waiting outside audio shows to try and bed them, lunch with dignitaries, save the planet with Bono, etc At least that's how it would work in my twisted little world.

Robert Harley, Art and Fremer.
New breed from enjoy m. & 6moons also interesting but that is all for now.
Politics - Howard Stern. Also good reviews of the best #@^$%@#& houses and implant technologies.

Robert E. Greene and John Atkinson.

Both are musicians and both impress me as being their own man.
Maybe not "great writers" but I believe what they say.

Yeah, Cory Greenburg was a hoot!
