Then does that mean tone control, balance, phase and EBA are at issue?

My original demo of MQA was on a pair of 7200s (non-SE) fed from M's prototype 818 at my dealer's shop. I enjoyed the demo and could easily hear what M was describing. However, the 7200s, the room and seating were not ideal. I'm not sure I can trade off MRC for MQA and enjoy the benefits.

Regards,
Bill
