Tubegroover, I just am not a fan of that author for 6 Moons. I don't value his opinions, just like I don't value Jonathan Valin's as well. Of course someone could have a Modright 105 and not love it in his system. One can not just throw in a component like say a Rockport or Wilson Speaker and think nirvana is reached. One has to work at the system in all aspects speakers, electronics, and front end to make everything work in unison and get the best out of it.
