thank you, HamsterKing. i think i'll enjoy the fx1100 for some time now - the andromeda is about 4.5x more expensive here in japan.
btw. the sq of fx1100 is improving nicely - the change is even noticeable the first couple hours out of the box. nice - i'm impressed.
interestingly enough these jvc fx1100's sounded tonally much fuller / complete compared to final heaven vi - i was basically deciding between those 2 (hooked to chord mojo). i'm so glad i picked the jvc's. hehehehe - and about 1 week ago i was similarly happy after getting the onkyo e700m. hehehe if i continue like this - in couple weeks i'd be getting the focal utopia. hope it won't end up like that - at least not that fast... thank you head-fi!
