Punching above its weight means it outperforms what you would expect for its class/price, e.g., a lightweight punching like a heavyweight. And I did not say "dark"; I said darker than my combo. The bass is not muddy, it is pretty taut, just does not go as deep as the CEC/Dodson.
I will give it more time. I am in no hurry. I could easilly live with the Sony and be satisfied. I just like my CEC/Dodson combo better so far, and also recognize this is what I am accustomed to.
Unfortunately, my pre does not have balanced inputs so I can only report on RCA.
Fishing716, it's good to be passionate, but don't give yourself a heat attack.
