Being a newbie who's interested in acquiring decent audio/HT gear, I've been doing some research. In addition to reading what folks have to say on this and other audio forums, I've thus far written to two professional audio reviewers who have been kind enough to respond. Most recently I received a reply which read, in part, as follows:
This comes from a well-respected professional who is a contributing technical editor for Sound and Vision magazine. I can't think of a reason why he would say this other than it is true.
