I am now beginning to believe that those of us that are experiencing hiss with the current crop of units really do have "higher resolution" systems than most people. (Note the smiley face...)

Just curious Kevin, are you saying that high speaker sensitivity numbers equates to "high-end" or "higher resolution" speaker designs? If so, I feel sorry for those who own expensive speakers made by companies like Wilson Audio, Revel, Joseph Audio or Aerial, just to name a few. Some of these $8,000-$20,000 (and up) per pair offerings list speaker sensitivities ranging as low as 81dB to around 88dB. I'd list most any of these companies offerings as "higher resolution" in my book. In fact, most high-end (i.e. expensive)designs tend to fall more in the "low sensitivity" design arena. To me, speaker sensitivity and "resolution" are not necessarily related. My apologies if I have misunderstood your intent, Kevin, but just felt I needed to make a small clarification.
