Wightknight:.... and have you seen how inflation has hit the world of hi-fi?
The £30 Sennheiser headphones on the cover have gone up to £40 by the time you reach page 17!
Regards (with tongue firmly in cheek) ....
£30 real-world price (as reviewed); £40 list price
Can only apologise again about the Missions - they were scheduled to appear in the issue, so they were put on the cover.
As mentioned, after the cover was printed, the on-sale date of the Mission speakers was changed and we could no longer run the review in the magazine (which went to print a month later). Iif the speaker isn't available to buy or demo there's not much we can do about that here.
It's a similar story with next-month page info - we order in review products, and fully intend/expect to feature them in that next issue. However, sometimes the manufacturer will change the release date and/or review product simply doesn't become available in time.
Our quest to bring you reviews of the very latest products first (but only ones you can actually audition/buy!) can mean we're in the hands of fate on these matters. We'll always keep you updated here; I mentioned online here more than a week ago that the Missions weren't in the issue, for example; maybe I should have made that much clearer.
