soley because people hear your unreviewed audio product at someone's house, shouldn't that be proof enough that your product is "worthy"? I think so.

What better evidence of "WORTH" is there than people voting for a product over MANY years with their wallets? I think this beats ANY reviewer's opinion.

When NYAL acquired the Futterman they did three things:

They advertised the Futterman;
They got reviews for the Futterman, even in Stereophile, and
They raised the paired-monoblock price from $500 (I paid) - $900 (later) to
[wait for it] $3000.
Then they introduced the 4-chassis paired monoblocks for $9000.

And my Futtermans have all the bells & whistles of the NYAL models...........
