You accused me of "sneering" at your audio choice(s). That was a lie. In
fact I sneered at your selection process, which did not involve ANY
listening of any type to any equipment at all. None. Not an in-home trial,
not some mind-numbing 3-second snippets, not even a brief listen in the
store.

As far as the ***receiver*** you purchased, I have no opinion. If it's
capable of driving your speakers and it meets your needs, then in my
opinion you don't care at all about subtle differences. Your method of
choosing undercuts all of your dogmatic posturing about "tests" because
you, yourself, are an undiscriminating listener.
