Did anyone already compare it soundwise to the CMA18P?

I'm hoping for the same, buddy! ASAP

I wish I knew you guys were going to have it this quickly. I ordered a week ago on announcement day directly from Questyle for the same price and apparently it shipped from China. I might have it next week.
