I have no dog in the fight, as I’m liberal-minded enough to be happy to see grown men make their own decisions about how they spend their money, but from a marketing and PR point of view, I’d suggest that Lenbrook really should not aim to ‘shut down’ opposition but rather to engage honestly.

From what I can observe, we are where we are as a direct result of the perceived lack of candour and rather aggressive gaslighting that the last lot indulged in. Getting into a war of words with those whom we call the rivet counters in the classic car world over unsubstantiable claims was just plain stupid.

If that is what the lack of take-up is being blamed on, that is quite the achievement when one considers the absurdly high levels of tolerance for magic beans that the audiophile community has in general.
