+1 on power. My system sounds much better at 1 AM!
Musical side of neutral = colored IMO. Means it's adding something to the music that's not there. Is this what you're hearing?
(Sorry about the bold and underlined "u"...couldn't help myself).
Color vs. colour
Color and colour are different spellings of the same word. Color is the preferred spelling in American English, and colour is preferred in all other main varieties of English. The distinction extends to all derivatives of the word. Colored, coloring, colorer, colorful, and discolor are the U.S. spellings, and coloured, colouring, colourer, colourful, and discolour are preferred outside the U.S.
We have Noah Webster to blame for not using The Queen's English:
"Americans follow the spelling rules set forth by Noah Webster, a lexicographer living when the US was a fledgling republic. He eliminated the "ou" from words like colour, labour, harbour, etc and replacing it with just an "o".
There were other orthographical changes.
What probably did was the US wanted to distance itself from Great Britain and one way to do it was changing the spelling of certain English words and making them appear more American."
I found the PWD2 more so in the coloured realm.
I thought Noah Webster created a dictionary eliminating the "ou" because it reflected how Americans pronunciate.
Not to distance itself from Great Britain.
Sorry, carry on.
Was this 2.20 or 2.02?
2.20 from a 2012 new production mk2 I believe.
The "ou" influence in Great Britain (and the rest of the English world except for the USA) could be a carry over from the French speaking Normans too. The "o-u-r" at the end of words seems like a French influence to me.
They seemed very underpadded and my ears were clipped on the top an bottom of the ear cavity.
