Cliff I do agree with that as well. There are a lot of very well respected high end brands out there that do an amazing job! One of the best parts of this Higher Fidelity industry today is the broad aspect of kit and technology available to us consumers!

The term other brand was in reference to the fact that righty or wrongly my ears tell me what I like and that I personal would prefer a good M system with its limitations over a fully spec'd system from another brand regardless of make.

Kind regards
