Hi, Lawrence.
Thank you for your comment.
If it sounds different, it measures different.
What bothered me the most was Stan didn't even spend one minute trying to convince me that I should give it a try for a few days, or teaching me how to do the "burn in" thing, or answering my (somehow) technical questions/doubts, or even asking what the rest of the system was, type of music, room, etc., or even figuring out if this unit was not good. He even didn't answer my email regarding the SEG being delivered back to him. He just refunded the money (less the shipping costs) without any word. To me, it just screams "don't make waves, return the SEG you'll get a refund and I'll sell it to someone else". Marketing.
If I'd liked the SEG, I would've write a positive review, as good as I could, about it.
I didn't, so I guess I'm free to right my negative opinion also.
In the end, even having spend €46 in shipping costs, this was a good experience for me, because I reinforced my feelings about what I want and what I don't want/like in my system.
Cheers,
Luis
