"Wes said, "the Ref 3s are in my "soon" queue". And somehow you took that to mean "they are at his humble abode". Where in the world do you come up with that leap of "logic"?"The answer is no. Please use Wes Philips' entire quote. He wrote that he would be be reviewing the speakers, and the review would appear sooner if JA would commission more than one review a month. From that entire statement, the dispositive portion you felt necessary to omit, I interpreted that Wes Philips would be reviewing the speakers, and the review would appear sooner if JA commissioned more than one review per month from Mr. Philips. I did not have to interpret anything. That is what Wes wrote.
Mr. Ayres, do you say you will do something if you cannot do it? If you are planning to install a spiffy new capacitor that a supplier says they will supply, and will revolutionize the amplifier world, but you do not have them actually on hand, have never seen one, and have no assurances that they will be delivered, do you publically state that the new super-duper amplifier is coming out soon?
Or do you wait until they are in hand and make sure you can deliver? Sure, my mistake. I do not know where Wes lives. I have never been to his apartment. I believe that Mr. Atkinson has a house in Brooklyn. I know that trees grow there, so it is reasonable for me to believe that Wes also has a house there as well. Perhaps if he told us where he lived, and his square footage, we could have avoided this.
You write that if every component that Wes "thought" about reviewing was in his teensy tiny apartment in Brooklyn I have never been to, he would not have room to live there. Funny, Wes never wrote that he was "thinking" about reviewing them, only that he was going to review them. You added that he was "thinking" about it. So not only do you "selectively" quote, you also add thoughts. But then, you have been to his apartment, so I guess that is okay.
Thanks for joining the fray.
