No that was the Absolute Sound editors.
Yes, that's the picture I remembered! Right speaker, wrong magazine.
The Stereophile and TAS reviewers listen to so many speakers ranging from budget priced to obscenely expensive, but once you get above $5K or so there's a sameness to the sound of all the box-enclosed point source speakers. The differences as you move up the price scale are audible but incremental.
Then they hear a well designed line array using good drivers and crossover parts, and the improvement over what they have heard in the past is so phenomenal they have an "I never dreamed it could be this good" epiphany. It happened with the Pipedreams, then with the Pips.
Too bad you can't buy a line array for less than $15K or everybody would want a pair.
