Sorry chess...
Didn't mean to rile you up!
If I step outside I could get hit with 20 - 25ft. waves on the north shore! (surf's way up!)
Somehow I thought I was pretty much agreeing with you! - I just didn't want the posts to become PERSONAL attacks here!
I am one of many here who believes that there is little (if any) sound difference between receivers when they are truly comparable in price/specs. As I have stated (and Alan has reiterated, I believe) there are just certain principals of component design and construction vs cost that cannot be ignored. If any company wants to stay in business, they have to make a profit, and to do so they usually have to be competitive in price vs their competition.
Thus similar prices usually mean similar specs, features and sound.
Gee, is it possible for that statement to be controversial???
