First, thanks - I do appreciate the compliment. Second - I had to chuckle at the question - I don't think it works like that. While there are usually agreements about such things as confidentiality, equipment handling protocols, etc. I suspect the majority of writers are not under contract. Though I am not one, there are writers at TAB who review for multiple publications, and I believe that is true for others elsewhere. As noted: for six years I wrote for Soundstage!, seven years for Audio Beat; now this is my first review for Positive Feedback.

==> I'd really rather talk about this new speaker - does anyone have comments or questions about the Alexia Series 2 ?? I'm vaguely recalling someone saying the Series 2 is no longer a bigger Sasha but the younger brother of the Alexx.

Tim - Very nice review of the new Alexia. I'm very tempted to do the upgrade to the S2.

Thanks Mike. I was surprised at myself being caught off guard by the Series 2 the way that I was. You see them and without inspection they look much like what was there in the same spot six months ago for the past four years. Then ... I'd bet a nickle you'd go through that too.

Thanks Bob.
