G'Day,
I did not start this post with the idea of it being a "mine is better than yours" topic, only as a bit of info. on that on-going debate on the other channel about Audya.coming from a Technics devotee.
I have learnt a lot more about the KN7,Tyros 3, and Audya from the contributors.
One thing that I feel I should point out to any potential buyers in the market is; Any demonstration you hear, is just what that demonstrator wants you to hear and the way he likes to play it. When you buy an instrument, YOU are the one who first has to like what comes out of the speakers, before anyone else. Because we all express what we feel, which relates to how and what we play, and it is always going to be different to whatever form the demo. happened to take.
So never be shy about asking for private and unlimited time to become familiar with any buy you may be contemplating.
Just my 2 cents worth
