Will,

I'm sorry if I got snippy. My apologies. I am just frustrated by what I heard last night. I want to believe that it was a fair test but, after all this discussion, I am starting to wonder if I misconfigured something. I wish you could have been there. The difference was quite clear. I posted my honest assessment.

If someone can show me what I did wrong, I would gladly reconsider my position.

After all this discussions about speaker phasing and old amplifiers, I am not sure what to think anymore. I can say the old HK does sound better than the 950 to my ears.

With reference to the possibility of having received a bad unit, how does one determine that? It is very subjective.

I reiterate my invitation to anyone in the SF Bay Area to stop by and tell me if I have done something wrong. I have my doubts, but a second pair of eyes is rarely a bad thing.

Again, please accept my apology. I am just very diappointed.

regards,
Santa Clara Jim
