At <I>Stereophile</I> we often gets requests for product reviews. What would you like to see reviewed?
I would like to see a comparison of affordable, remote controllable, AM/FM tuners. Specifically, the Marantz ST-17, Denon TU-1500RD, and the new Rotel RT955. I would also like to see the Monster Cable HTS5000 and Tripp Lite Isobar 6 DBS surge protectors reviewed. Actually, I have read several favorable comments about the Isobar, both its sound and protection capabilities, but I have not seen it reviewed in any A/V magazines.
I'd like to see Legacy Speakers reviewed, which by the way you had said in an article a while back you were going to be reviewing (I'm still waiting). Although you do have review criteria which have to be met before a product is review in your magazine (such as minimum of 5 dealers available), I would still like to see products reviewed from a mail order company that has been around for over 30 years by the name of 'Audio by Van Alstine' (www.avahifi.com). I have purchased their products and I am so very satisfied. I feel I avoided a lot of audio frustration.
Hi I live in a small comunity of apx 40,000 people. We don't have a large amount of high end stores so finding information is hard. I would like to see reviews on some of the mid-fi equipment. For example Kef or Kinergetics Chiro. Also will tube amps power speakers with low impedances well? I would like to buy a pair of martin logans but my dealer says that I need mass amounts of power.
