The original subject here was heavy hitters, but my typo looked good so I left it. I wouldn't say they're scared, but how will it look if our homebuilt 1/4 to 1/3 price cabinets (Fitz or Pi), approach or exceed theirs? Can you say market share? I have no doubt their gear is awesome, so show it off already.

Kudos to bassmax for still coming. Dangit, I really wanted to hear a lab or a danley horn.

I'll try to get specs and pics to you this weekend Wayne.

good one! Either they think they are above the test or they dont as as much faith in their product as they do in their advertising.
There's so many guys out there like Velodyne, Sunfire, Edgar, M&K, Kef, Serv Drive, Bag End, Teufel, Klipsch and Snell... Not to mention all the big label pro sound guys with massive claims of earthshaking low frequency. My hats off to all you guys with an entry in the arena and shame on those who just sit back and advertise.

Whats the incentive for a big company to show? First they have to vette all of the electrical and physical set-up. Then they have advertising proscriptions that could be violated. The list goes on and on. It's a zero sum for them.
What would they get out of it?

You have a good point in that "there isn't anything in it for them" It's too bad for the smaller company's that could use the help of a direct comparison to justify their worthiness of market share. It's too bad for the big company's that crunch the numbers and realize there is no benefit to substantiate there existence with any kind of truth in advertisement.

The few things that could be of interest to a larger company would be bragging rights, not only against a group of smaller manufacturers but if you got all the sub guys to show there face, there would be a comparison across a larger group that the buying public is looking for. If big boy ultra expense products came out on top it would be more proof on their part, that if you want good equipment the DIY rout is not as good as spending lots of dough.
But.... I see your point because I don’t have any need for advertisement myself. The effort just doesn’t pan out to be worthwhile.

It's sad this is the fact but all they have to do is point to market share and thats all folks.
