I appreciate the necessity of carefully controlled experiments, but
you have to take it as you find it when shopping.  It seems to be
pretty clear that a small difference in loudness makes a difference
in the percieved quality.  But, what about things like imaging?  
When I compared an NAD with a Mission cd player - at roughly the
same volume - the imaging was quite different.  The singer was on
the floor with the NAD and standing up with the Mission.  Can that
be a function of a slight difference in loudness?

I would love to do a test of the Meridan/Mission/Magnovox/Whatever
to see if I can spot a difference.  Anyone game that has them?
If someone has a Magnovox, I suppose we could try to set up a
comparison test at the snobshop in Milburn (challenge them to
show that Meridian/Mission is actually better?).
