That's fine, Tim, we all get excited at times, me especially!Compromises finely played off against each other are still compromises. Perhaps I should point you to a definition of compromise? And the Lotus would kick the M3s butt too. A big BMW, M3 or otherwise, would catch it on a long straightaway, but that's like declaring the reproduction superiority of the system that is the loudest.
Oh and my apologies for the other post. Perhaps you should point me to a defintion of "harmonic."

It's an obvious one, but the Wikipedia article on "Harmonic" is an excellent starting piece, told me much more than I already knew. And the info on partials is fascinating, tells you why a system with any remanent distortion will have trouble replaying instruments producing these cleanly.
