2x6, I am definitely in the camp of " there are differences between pieces", I was asking your definition of the terms. Having spent many years in electronics/electrical engineering, the products aimed for mass market have many.....compromises (to be polite) to the build of the pieces. But that is another discussion.....

Remember, in audio there is a colourful language that becomes part of the territory when reviewing/relating our experiences. I have always made it a point to ask the person who puts forth such a term to describe to me what it is they hear. This helps me learn as well.....an open mind is needed in this hobby, as there are too many people putting forth opinion as fact - yet again another discussion!!!

I would love to come over... if I can find the time as it is a long flight from Axiomland to SoCal. I enjoy listening to systems that bring the owners much joy.
