Agreed 100%. I do however have one small concern - and that is that non-audiophile people coming to the forum may see all the talk about improving this or that and walk away with the impression that there's something wrong with the original unit, and that they have to mod it to make it sound decent. There needs to be a big disclaimer on audiophile talk indicating that the stock SB2 is way better than anything most people have ever heard.
