You have seen in the thread that each model you originally posted has been recommended by someone posting. I am curious, what decision to drop Rotel was made based on?
Weight can indicate larger pieces used in assembly, such as electrical components used in the ever important power supply. But as you mentioned, it should be a factor, not the deciding factor. I remember hearing a story of a British magazine that brutally reviewed a piece because of the light weight. The designer changed the model number, and riveted a clay brick inside. When it was resubmitted for review, the exact same piece was glowingly reviewed! Urban legend is what I chalked that up to, but I have heard several people who claim it to be true, and claim to be able to produce the reviews. Makes a statement about judging by factors alone.
