Lansing made the cover of Stereopile and the review was quite positive. The measurements were great, the subjective outcome was glowing. Congratulations to GT and the folks behind the effort. Hopefully this will raise awareness and acceptance and drive demand in the US for these world-class offerings.
What month of stereophile are you talking about I assume tne Array 1400's?

All those years that magazine touted lousy speakers and NOW we're supposed to think they know what they're talking about?
Can someone post the review? I would love to read it.
I don't want to be sued for copy infringement or whatever, but the highlights -
Averaged in-room response north of 200hz was +/- 1db up through 20K.
The cabinet had a couple of resonances.
Dispersion was textbook.
Bass was solid to 25, in-room.
They seemed to dislike the assembly process.
The reviewer's wife helped carry the 115 pound speakers up the stairs! I know that when some other (not all) $10K+ speakers are reviewed, either the owner or a high-level support guy or at least the dealer will provide installation and tweaking.
How about the all too often used term "horn sound"?? Was it mentioned in the review at all??

Hi Guys.
I am loving this. I have been selling the Array 1400's for 2.5 to 3 yr's now and I am glad to see they made THE FRONT COVER OF THE MAGAZINE. These loudspeakers have a special place in my heart. They are simply AMAZING.I hope they never get discontinued from the line up.
In my view as they say(Better late then never).....
All I can say is Thank you Greg Timbers for another masterpiece.
Way to go JBL.....
Amps used -
Levinson No 334
Bryston 7B-SST*2
Bryston 3B-SST*2
The reviewer never mentions horn charachteristics or preconceived notions of such in any way.
John Atkinson (editor-in-cheif, measurment guru) mentions that he is both a fan of GT and suspicious of horn designs. Therefore, he wasn't suprised that it measured so well and is so well engineered.
I forwarded this thread to Greg. He hadn't seen the article.
Thank You!
I just ran out during lunch and got a copy. Very positive to say the least.

It is great to see, especially on the cover! I hope to read the review soon.
It is interesting how you seem to be required to run ads to get reviews... just last month, April 2010 on page 122 there is a full page ad for the Everest DD66000 and K2-S9900.
That said, to give the Magazine the benefit of the doubt, on the cover of that same issue they feature a Monitor Audio Platinum series speaker... a very beautiful speaker with excellent fit and finish and acceptable if not world class sonics. If you read the review carefully you kind of get that impression as well. They never say that it is just an average speaker that costs $8K a pair, but they don't drool over it either.
I am glad to see that JBL finally ponied up and bought the ad space!
Congratulations JBL and GT!!!

I would love to see a response from GT or JBL in the Manufacturer's Comments section next month.
