Interestingly enough, for whatever reason, or, it just worked out that way, Museatex decided that the first review/slash/article on the Melior One would run in AUDIO, not Stereo Review.
My supposition back then was that in view of the fact that Stereo Review ran covers alternating music-related-topics with equipment-category covers, a cover with only a shot of the Melior One would have looked hinky.
But Audio did that all the time. Also, there was a big Sidebar of a technical paper written by Museatex's loudspeaker engineers, and I had reason to suspect that Museatex paid the usual per-page advertising rate for those pages to run.
A charming speaker, actually. I sold my pair to some lucky chap when I was sued for Divorce.
I think at the end of the day, Julian Hirsch served the purpose of demonstrating the limitations of the "one-eyed, color-blind meter reader" as Audio Critic, paving the path later trod by JGH and HP.
