Roy is extremely generous with his time. And should not have to waste it any further with justifying himself or his products against kenjit's claims.
Maybe eight years ago I helped out a friend wanting to buy a stereo. Based on threads on agon, I scored him a pair of Europas, and then consulted with Roy about appropriate amplification in reach of a non-audiophile with a realistic budget. Roy steered us to a Sony ES integrated, which is their higher line of product. Weights around 50 pounds, cost a few hundred bucks on eBay, and from the get-go sounded great together. Every time I travel the three hours to visit my friend, and we listen to music together, I think to my self "why spend more money than this... this is a completely engaging musical listening experience". So much so that eight years later, I decided to get a pair of Europas (used) just to have kicking around, for my enjoyment or to sell to a friend who is ready for such a high value product.
I don't find them at all lean with the Sony. Full bass, excellent imaging, just musical as all getout. I always find myself amazingly engaged with the music and my friend is always thanking me. I am thanking Roy. And on several occasions, when I wanted product support or advise, Roy has been most generous. You don't find that kind of support so often.
