I will also say that the 671 will win.

Thank you very much for the comp.

The difference of the soundstage is pretty noticeable between C & D.
I was expecting a difference but I did not expect it to be this dramatic.

I liked both c and d equally for each of their own reasons FWIW. One or the other didnt really jump out at me. in samples a and b, I like a batter. b had too much of a high-end presence for my tastes
