John: I'm surprised that as little as 0.1 dB would make a difference. The shape of those curves in the charts, referenced above, did not suggest to me that it was that critical.

I am now beginning to wonder how many of these listening tests are actually calibrated that well? That is something for me to look for next time I read a comparison article.

Thanks.
