Hi All,
I'd be inclined to think the KX2 measurements
won't knock your socks off. Unlike the KX3,
which was designed to be a close competitor to
K3 performance (a K3 in a smaller package), the
KX2 is more a pared down version of the KX3, and
some of that paring down probably affected the
specs somewhat. I don't think this paring down
process was allowed to noticeably degrade
performance. I can tell you , though, that it
is very hard to notice any significant
difference. It has somewhat different
architecture, but is an excellent performer.
This sort of proves to me that being "top tier"
on Sherwood's stats is nice to talk about, but
not necessarily critical. That's why so many
owners of older rigs have a hard time "hearing"
the benefit of what newer designs purport to offer.
Wayne says he guesses the KX2 might rank
somewhere in the top 20. If so, that's pretty
darned good!!! I'd also be inclined to bet that
Wayne already knows about where it will fall! I
just hope that, when the numbers do come out, we
don't go through an ad nauseam exchange about
some spec being a big problem or a serious
disappointment. A lot of these differences are
only determinable in a lab! On the other hand,
if something does seem to be a real problem, I'd
also bet it can be fixed!
