Promoting current-drive as superior to voltage drive was too much for the AES

The Audio Engineering Society has declined to publish any advertisement of the book in their journal!

Interesting enough? What is there to evade?

The justifications they gave:
"... A book advertisement assumes that the AES has no conflict with the content, and that isn't quite appropriate. We certainly don't want to suppress your ideas, but we feel the advertisement route is not correct." (John Vanderkooy, Editor)

I further tried to inquire what do they exactly mean by the implied 'conflict' between the AES and the book content (which they had never seen) and asked them to point out any published journal articles or other valid documents that could make up such a conflict. I wasn't given any. Rather, I was informed that "The fact that almost no systems exist that employ current drive speaks to the industry rejecting this view. It is easy to make amplifiers deliver current drive; that is no objection." I was also suspected to be "interpreting things wrongly", again without any elaboration.

Isn't it also quite telling that even the staff of an academic journal are unable to find any other justification for the status quo than the status quo itself!

Below is shown the 1/6-page strip designed. However, it also became clear that the refusal was a general one and not dependent on any specific wording used.
