[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1843628, member: 21926"] [USER=22257]@biturbomg[/USER] It may come across as off putting, snobbish, or non-responsive or maybe like we’re talking past each other. We’re not. We’re trying to save you $$$ in the long run, because we’ve all been there and travelled this road before you. If you’re modifying the stereo at all, you are at least passively enthusiastic about audio. If you’ve ever done any sort of stint in music as a hobby, or even professionally, that puts you in a special category of audio enthusiast. One who will appreciate precise and accurate sound reproduction- sometimes within budget constraints, but you get the point. The Sony & B&O is imprecise, poorly mixed, underpowered, and uses quite inexpensive components. If you could somehow manipulate the mixing - even to flat signal, it would sound far better but would likely compromise the cheap components. There’s really no sense adding power to it while poorly mixed and the B&O isn’t friendly to simple, line level sub add, where the Sony system did allow this.

So, the moral here is, if you’re going to mod the B&O, there’s an entry fee minimum that is a little higher than on the previous model Raptors. If you do it right the first time, you don’t spend as much in the long run. [/QUOTE]
