In Arthur's defence he has not really pushed his speaker's until most recently in the Victory II's and the (especially) Pure reference. There was one recommendation in his speakers section (among countless other brands)of a Coincident speaker posted a few years ago. So 'pushing' is a little harsh in my ignorant opinion.

A few years ago? It was exactly when I read the Arthur's site last time and I remember he was leaned heavily on whatever Coincident had current at that time. There is nothing wrong with Coincident. They are the OK speakers, nothing earth shattering. In Arthur's offense I would insist on the word 'pushing'.  I never understood why people have needs to provide recommendation of audio equipment. If you found something that you like then use it. Share you experience if you feel so. However, to RECOMMEND to others to buy or to use something I feel is the most ridicules thing to do. Nowadays Arthur piled up tone of “recommended components” from himself, from his uncles, from his visitor, from his house cleaning lady…. The Arthur’s thoughts about his “recommendations” were interesting to read 10-7 years ago. Nowadays his recommendations are “McDonalds with attitude”. I am not particularly “blame” him, I just found his site too boring to read late years.
