which have forward sound? Wadia,cd50,BAT


I am thinking about buying either a Wadia 850, Resolution Audio cd50, or a BAT vkd5. I prefer a "forward" sounding (not polite) cd player. Can anyone tell me which of these are forward sounding and in what order of "forwardness" would you rank each of them.. Thanks in advance..

My CD50 goes directly into my Krell amp, and the sound is unbelievably musical, accurate, transparent, dynamic, images are solid and palpable (and go very deep, with ideal perspective), tonally truthful and grain free, totally fatigue-free, and approach that of very good analog. I would say that it is "correct", and not "forward". I guess you'll need a lesser CD player, so good luck.
