I too was very impressed by the quality of the sound in the audiopax room. It was extremely musical, and the room I most enjoyed spending time in. I think the preamp had a lot to do with it as I have heard the other components before. It was only ok in appearance and the remote was simple but if the sound is what counts, it is superb. Compared to the edge I found it much more emotionally involving though I did not compare the two in the same system. Hope this helps
