Thank you. Anything is only good for the cost if you like the sound quality and the component fits sympathetically into your system, so an audition or blind buy is probably required to determine that.
Last year, a friend of mine was selling his Stratos, and I borrowed it for a few weeks. It was not to my taste, but material value was there, nicely built, completely reliable, at least for the time that I had it. If I listened to material value I would still have it. I would add that he liked the SQ very much, so these are all just matters of system matching and taste.
