Just a couple of questions. Exactly how is TSC "very much tied" to this forum. Do they have an ownership stake? Are they site sponsors or have they simply made themselves available for a peer to peer marketing campaign? It's one thing to recommend a product but another entirely to suggest that TSC is in any way tied to Audioholics in any other than a sponsor/contributor sense.
Also, who is the owner. Last time I checked, TSC's corporate headquarters was the same address as D&M Holdings, a global conglomerate of audio brands. I thought we had determined that TSC was an internet only spin off of Boston Acoustics. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I am not of the understanding that TSC is the product of some hard-working, entrepreneurial owner that spends his time on audio forums every day.
I'm not saying anything about the speakers themselves. I've never seen or heard them, but this soft sell/hard sell approach to recommending TSC seems a little bit "off" to me.
