Dreamer.... just curious what type(brand name)speakers/amplifier did you use with the SD1?? Could that have an effect?? I stated here awile back about the noise issue with the X1 and George Kaye gave, what I thought, was a very good explaination of it.
Scott... The dealer I purchased my PA80 form is a Solton dealer and I will be demoing the SD1 on Monday(I had the X1 on loan for awhile)For what it's worth I'll give my opinion Monday night.
