[QUOTE="seanjammy, post: 1079937, member: 17457"] Stefan - you couldn't be further from the mark. For a start, the exact same objections that I raised in my forum post (brand newness and value) were raised in the article. However, the 'tone' of a review is a different one by virtue a) of the fact that I had a unit to review and b) the forum is entirely different - it is a single view, without real conversation, and requires both sides to br presented. I went on my own accord to source an amp, and review objectively - partly in order to put to bed your criticism of me which you shared in a WhatsApp, and partly because of journalistic curiosity. Irrespective, I stand behind every word I wrote. As for me not being Deon - you are utterly correct. Deon and I were very close at a point, and he would share his views with me privately. However he needed the commercial aspects of these publications to succeed, I don't - I could continue writing reviews in perpetuity with zero revenue, and I will always ensure that the truth (well, my truth) prevails. I will not go into my personal disappointment (although I note that I write on the forum under my name - not an alias), that you felt it necessary to take a shot at me on the forum, when you were invited, by me, on repeated occasions, to sit down and have a chat. Mods - please don't delete this, or Stefan's post - I really feel this sort of debate is valuable. Have a great evening guys. [/QUOTE]
