Ok, I have just spoken to Joe, and I have spoken to the article writer and I will clear a few things up.
First and formost the article writer is a really nice guy. Here's the only problem I see. He simply did not know of SilenX's turbulent past and didn't realize he couldn't take the numbers the manufacturer had given him as absolute fact.
I offered to help him test a few things that would make his good review a great review. I
ve offfered to help him test the fans actual CFM and the actual dba the fan puts out (YES, we will explain how these measurements are taken, unlike SilenX whom does not tell anyone about this)
I honestly hope after he retests the fan, it will not be considered the Mercedes Benz of fans. Because if it's one thing I know, it's fans, if my name wasn't Silversinksam, it would be FanmanSam, and I got a collection of fans that are better than SilenX's offerings, I can prove they are not the best. It's already a known fact, SilenX has a history of shady business, perhaps now we can get a detailed review of exactly what they are selling these days.
I hope the article author takes me up on my offer, because some articles I like to get involved in, especially ones that involve sneaky, unethical and snake like companies that sell snakeoil and BS, and wrap them up in a nice shiny product.
