One thing to keep in mind is that "how good" something sounds is correlated to how much clean audio power they can emit and the size of room used for listening. My mini Warfdale Diamond 8.1 and a T-Amp sound very good in my small office, but I'm sure they would sound puny in a larger room. -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it. And I won't even if you ask me.
