The poll is skewed.
The Yamaha 9000PRO wasn't even listed while the SD1 was? That's odd. Plus there's something about Solton owners that draws them to things like this while Yamaha owners aren't as interested. I think its because Solton owners have bought something vastly overpriced and over-rated, and strongly feel that must defend their poor purchasing judgment. I'm not saying that Solton owners are less intelligent. I'm just saying that they don't mind spending more for less, and then feel compelled to defend their poor choice to the death.
We'll probably never know the inner grief and struggle that Solton owners face for sure. But I'd bet nearly every Solton owner on this site felt compelled to participate while less than half of the Yamaha owners even bothered with it.
Have a nice day . . . and next time, THINK before you BUY.
