Heh, it didn't even occur to me that you've got both at your disposal to audition. Good to know. I never thought the 044 was lacking, rather liked it. Ran across a lot of [mis]information claiming that it was harsh compared to "soft dome" tweeters. Probably comes down to equipment. I'll never forget how much my mind was blown when I dumped that 510M Marantz in favor of it's usurper, the Adcom GFA-555II. They were pretty rad when both were driven by their own dedicated 555II. ...For all of twenty minutes

I'm over-due to "test" my hearing with test tones. Last I checked, I couldn't hear anything past 16khz. Also curious to see who hears better, me or Angela.
