Agreed Burt -- or if not lying, not saying a word. Sounds dumb, but there are a million factors OTHER than the repeater that affect how a particular user is hearing the machine -- and many don't know how to logically remove the changes THEY'RE making from the changes happening to the repeater... if they THINK it sounds worse after a change... then they'll complain, even if the system is actually performing BETTER.
