Yes ideally that would be good , unless you get engaged in the mudwrestling after the fact :D In all other hobies ther are also overpriced gear cherished brandnames and very subjective opinions , but they are usually closer to reality and within reasoable fanboy behaviur i really like brand x or italian sportcars ( even if similar performance can be has from US or japan). But if I in a car forum claimed that my Corvette had 9 billion horsepowers , I would probably be called upon that BS . In audio forums we are suposed to accept claims that are even more unreasonable ? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
