I've been away for a bit, and really just skimmed this thread. But it sounds to me like people jumped all over Bob for his "fanboy..." comment. I took it as him wondering out loud more than an insult. I thought his post was not pejorative. He's obviously used to something and M80's aren't that.

I do agree with others in that speakers up to this point hid the fact that Bob's reference music has been flawed all this time and he just noticed it. It's possible. Perhaps you can go to HDTracks and download some samples? This way, Bob can judge on sound and not on "I'm used to this sound and it's the right sound"

Just a thought.
