Xopher's primary reason in posting here was obviously to impress us with his perceived knowledge of and taste in audio equipment, not to ask us for advice. In 2 separate threads he asked the group what we thought of certain equipment (while dismissing anything else as being "harsh" or "lacking soundstage"), and then, after we offered him our honest opinions and advice, proceeded to tell us why we are all full of crap.
Xopher considers himself an "audiophile". "Audiophiles" derive their own sense of importance by looking down their noses at those of us who refuse to buy into the idea that you have to pay a lot of money for acceptable sound.
Maybe there are people who can perceive a big difference between, say, a Denon 3805 and a Rotel receiver costing twice as much, and don't mind paying the difference. If you are one of them, power to you, and enjoy your expensive gear. Don't, however, come on a board like this one and act like a big snob who knows more than the rest of us.
