I've been discovering that this is most resoundingly true.

I saw the QX-8 at the high end in Munich, think it was still a pre production model as the front plate was not fitting nicely with the top/side cover, I am a fan of 5-series looks, but the 8 series was not looking very "attractive" in my eyes. It was only on display, so I cannot comment on the sound quality

Stereophile reviewed the QX-5 Twenty. "Class A+, with a bullet!" Interesting comparison with QB-9 as well.

Great to see you post Blackstone. Oh, btw, I don't see them getting MQA anytime soon. Alex was very premature when he told me they were back in March. not a big deal as it sounds great. Do you have a link for this old lazy guy? LOL

I flipped through the article yesterday at the local Barnes & Noble. Didn't have time to really read it, but the unit reviewed was the same one Michael Lavorgna at Stereophile sister site audiostream dot com reviewed. The "Class A+, with a bullet" line was actually the last line of the piece haha.
