From memory, the panellists included John Crabbe (HFN), Mike Ballance (Practical Hifi), David Stripp (BBC), Jim Rogers (Rogers) and two others I can't recall - this from a photo in HFN, which carried some of the correspondence laeding up to the tests. Chris Rogers was the most prominent "subjectivist" to withdraw at a late stage, largely because of Walker's insistence on a statistically sound experimental procedure. Barry Fox wrote it up for HFN, I think, and the result was that under those conditions it was not possible to distinguish the amplifiers with an accuracy better than chance.
