They test at their research lab, I think that they test all their loudspeaker lines. I've been a member of each of the Cults that HR describes in his "First Watt Amp Review".

An introduction to the Audiophiliac Daily Show Hi, my name is Steve Guttenberg, I am a full time professional audio reviewer. Still really cheap, don't you think?
