While I am a multi-channel enthusiast, I know exactly where yer coming from. When I upgraded from the KEFs to the MLs I spent, and spend, quite a bit of time revisiting old material. I may be assuming but if by the second-to-last sentence you mean that it negates the need for processing like NEO:6 and DBPL. I agree.

Still, I think there's a place at the table for everyone and a well done MC may be my most valued guest...
