What am I trying to convey and obviously doing a poor job of it (thanks recstar for your far more eloquent help) is that reviewers should understand the weight that their opinion carries. I can very nearly guarantee that when folks start receiving their Predators that we will now hear a litany of stated burn-in times regarding sound quality based on your review. And for anyone that perhaps doesn't agree with your impressions will be told that they need the requisite 300/500/whatever period of burn-in before their opinion becomes valid. I've argued this point in other threads recently so I'll stop here. |

There is a cleaness between notes and frankly it is a different set of electronics that has its own sound. |

I have an SR-71, had a Hornet, and heard the Predator (granted, for a limited time). We might be using different terminology since I'm not sure what you mean by "more dynamic" since that wasn't my experience, though that's not a criticism of the Predator, which I thought sounded good, just not more dynamic. |
