Don't know if this is the right forum.
What Hifi sound and vision has a bit of a reputation for eccentric reviews, but the new April issue has surpassed itself. In a review of AV stands I saw mine - Alphason 105s - gets only 2 stars. Why so I ask, dodgy construction, poor materials ??? Not so. Apparently when playing a DVD, presumably on a DVD player sitting on the stand into a display also sitting on the same stand, colours look washed out compared to other stands in the group test
Now I could be convinced that sound from speakers is influenced by the surface they sit on, but PQ from DVD players? Do I feel my ***** being pulled? Is this the April fool edition?
Next month I understand they are doing a group test of walls - plasterboard, brick, MDF, concrete etc - to test performance of plasmas and LCDs when hung on the various materials
