I think what you hear with the cheaper system ..are mids that are not as clear on the Compact...we tested this last year with proven results using a "room control" feature with my Edirol mixer...that made the Compact come to life...
Perhaps you are right... I think what I miss most though is the great stereo effect that I get with my home system. Maybe I'll get another Compact with a mixer and see if that works for me.
Sorry Acadia to get away from your topic
