On the awards website you have put the Roksan Caspian Amp in amongst the CD player section. Don't know if you can change this?

A few surprises indeed. I didn't expect to see a Yamaha in the stereo amp dept! And are the BX2's really that good? Nice to see the Rega RP1 featuring as I'm about to get one

I am surprised , in Stereo Speakers section EBs not wining any award and specially ATC SCM-11 beating the EB2 in awards while few month ago in the supertest EB2 won the competition over SCM-11, are there new SCM-11 available now? or change of hearts ;)

I hope this is also not a mistake in next 15 minutes I see EB2 popping up ;)

All to do with our Awards rules - products have to be widely available in order to win one of our Awards; winning an Award typically creates a great demand, and we want to ensure readers can get hold of the products.

Since winning the Group Tests, the EB Acoustics speakers have frequently been unavailable, even to order, due to the backlog. The company made it clear that they had no plans to ramp up production to deal with greater demand, so we sadly had to rule them out of Awards contention. Great speakers, but available in too limited numbers; if you're prepared to wait, go for it!

The Awards issue spells this out clearly in the speakers section.

Ouch! That's harsh especially with respect to the ATC SCM11s.

About a year ago a friend of mine ordered his SCM11s through a dealer who often contributes here on the forum. (I recommended him.)

The SCM11s took so long to be made, that the dealer ended up having to give a substantial discount. (We are talking many weeks.)

I know this because I was there when he ordered them and I was the one who took delivery of them for my friend (he works as a night driver) and they came direct from the ATC factory so there was no dealer delay.

ATC are also not that 'widely available' and have a pretty small and select dealership network. When I rang around the ATC dealers nearest my location once I couldn't find any of them that had ATC in stock or to demo. In all cases I would have had to have ordered them and waited for ATC to build them.

Yes, we had a foil-dressed cover last year, that resulted in issues being delayed to both subscribers and shops, which caused a lot of frustration all round (and lost us a few days of sales in some retailers).

Decided we'd rather ditch the frills and get the issues out on time - which gave us more time to work down to the wire on Awards products/decisions.
