Shinji,
I once ordered a pair of speakers based purely on recommendations (glowing magazine reviews as well as user reviews) but had to sell them b/c I just plain didn't like em. Lost around $200 in that transaction.
Since then I've learned that when buying audio equipments, its best to test it out first. Reviews and recommendations do help weed out the clear losers. But nothing beats personal auditioning.
If internet purchase is necessary, then always pick the store that has a return policy. The price might not be as low as the bargain stores, but you'll end up happier in the end.
To make a long story short: don't put too much weight on recommendations. If you feel that the A-900 ain't right for you, then return it (i assume audio cube has a return policy?).
Good luck!!
