And so it will be. Word of warning though.

With the exception of the OP, it seems that most people on here won't or are incapable of making a decision without WHF rubber stamping the product and there's never a guarantee on that score.

EB3 will available in 3 weeks but a review?, add 3 months. That's because of deadlines, photography and copy etc.

Just so you are aware. Although you could always take the chance and  buy it and return if you don't like it irrespective of a WHF review.

Are you taking advice on PR from AJ?

Not at all Dave lol. Just seems strange to me. If I saw something that took my fancy then I would go and listen to it regardless of a magazine review. The review helps, sure. But ultimately, it's got to work in my environment.

 If the AJ is who I think you mean then that's the last place I would go for advice.

I may have been lapse in the past but I'm not completely doolalley.( fink I've spelt that wrong somehow. )

RE: EB3 Centre Speaker

It’s scary the amount of people who will trust someone else’s ears via a review over their own ears. I agree it is reassuring but ultimately makes no difference to what you hear yourself.

 

I saw a post where someone wouldn’t purchase XTZ speakers because WHF hadn’t reviewed them despite being a demo facility and many favourable reviews from many other publications from various parts of the world.

In the case of EB along with the recent changes and the 30 day money back guarantee there's nothing to be lost really. Still, their choice not mine.

It's one of those things that I should have done a long time ago Bigboss. I just hope I haven't scared everyone off. Time will tell.

I do all of the websites myself so it's not too difficult. A bit of headscratching at times but there you go.

Update

New EB website is now live including the EB3. 

Have a look and see what you think. Please don't ask about a review for EB3. WHF will call for it as a stereo pair when they're good and ready I'm sure.

Regards.

About the website, or the speakers?

The speakers look nice, but the website looks amatureish. You should invest in a better website and maybe also consider having some professional photos taken of your products.

The website is your storefront and needs to look inviting and professional and make people confident about spending their hard earned with you. It does look a lot like stumbling across a DIY speakers site at first.

BB - I can but it is a bit weird. 

 

When you click on products, does the list come up for a fraction of a second ? It does on mine. 

If it does, hit the back button and the products menu stays on screen letting you make a selection.
