I think his wife is a dog, what's that opinion worth?) basically it's like he's saying "forget what I said previously, these actually suck". Unfortunately I think The stereophile review lacks merit (my personal opinion, it's sweet then goes sour when the reviewer revisits the product. Ambiance are about as close as CSW ever got to making a Studio Monitor - although it does much better mid-field than most studio monitors.
