Blue circle Audio BC86 MKIII Noisehound....

Chad, there's a review here. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/frr.pl?raccs&1103219869&read&3&4&

I had previously purchased two Blue Circle MKII Noisehounds, but found that they noticeably limit the music dynamics. And unfortunately, they were also non-refundable.

I've had far better results using the "Quantam ElectroClear". They produce a quieter background, enlarge the soundstage, and make the music sound much more natural.

I feel the ElectroClear's are worth looking into as an alternative to the Noisehounds.
