| Skeptic or just plain hard headed Perhaps try it at the mid point of 200 hours? Then you'd have three samples to compare and contrast....! | |

Check out audio circle, where a number of these seem to be mentioned and discussed. I'm sure there are other sites too that conc... | |

If you give them a set budget, they will tell you what they can sell you from among the brands they stock, and if you're lucky they'll tell you what they recommend among that limited range.... |
