Mapman, congrats, and yes, it will be interesting to hear your opinions on the differences / improvements with the Metas ( after some break in time ). Do you happen to have on your rear wall behind your couch, a sound absorbing panel, blanket or the like ? IME, being close to the rear wall is not good for SQ, in almost every situation I have encountered. Enjoy, be well and stay safe. Always, MrD.
