BTW, while I may have drawn my own conclusions before playing the Audya, I am by no means alone. Plenty of people here with opinions for AND against the Audya just from reviews, demos and general reading...

Of course, you don't hear the Ketron fanboys belittle the 'pro' faction that are in a no better position than me to judge...

You are not against uninformed opinion, no matter how hard you try to self-delude... You are simply against those who's opinion you don't agree with
