Scant as they are, the disturbing thing is that both of those "write ups" dwell on the features, not the benefits of the unit. There is not a word in there that would persuade me to part with �500 far less �1500. I do hope that any subsequent write ups major on the truly stunning sound quality...it is that, and that alone, which justifies the price.
