TomSF & Scott Thanks for your response I agree with both of you 100%!! I to listen to the PA80 Demoes and purchased one, based on my satisfaction with my I30. I had it a week and traded up to the SD1 and never looked back.
I have read many positive posts over the past several years with regard to the Yamaha KB's. I think it may time to own one!!!

Roel ... I read your original post and also agree with your assesment.

The one thing I like most about this forum is whether or not people agree with you or not you always learn something!!!
