It's a great tuner. A little while ago I was listening to our PBS station playing some orchestral work in the background. I had my back to my Maggie 3.6's. Every once and a while I would hear a cough right next to me, then farther away. The 3D resolution was outstanding. I spun around to focus on this. The 85 was always a pleaser but this was something else. Turns out it was a live broadcast of the opening night at the new Disney Hall. I could hear the acoustics of it, and this was with the supplied dipole antenna. But do remember one of the basic laws pertaining to this hobby: Garbage in, Garbage out. The 85 is a keeper for me.
