Whats the big mystery with this i improvement? Josh knows what it is, why doesn't he just post it here?
The 1.7 was a lot of things, but definitely not "too lean in the bass area", the bass was muddy and uncontrolled, a far cry from the 1.6. When we did a A/B with the 1.6 +1.7 it was a big disappointment, we all expected the 1.7 to be a further development of the 1.6, but it turned out the 1.7 had gone off in a different direction and had left the audiophiles out in the cold.
We could only conclude that the 1.7 had been designed for the US market, surround system's, home theatre's e.t.c., which makes sense, audiophiles are on their last legs and the 2 channel market is drying up quickly...... whatever this i improvement was, it wasn't going to fix this 1.7
