Zubkabera: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
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.
