So I've never heard the BHK in live person but read/listen/read more reviews online and felt it "could" be an upgrade in my setup. Associated gear below and my room is 36x18x9. Lend me your gentle thoughts if you can. TIA"my beloved Cary SLP-05 "
If it truly was, you wouldn't have parted ways with it.
The BHK was highly rated by both users and reviewers, but in the end no one has your ears.
Your allowing needless audio neurosis take over before you even listen to it!
Relax, enjoy it.
