Why didn't you say all that in the first place? Still a little short on details as to your more sweeping conclusions that are at odds with so, so many other posters (owners), but it's a start. If the panny just all out "quit" for your needs and in your setup, aren't your conclusions a little sweeping?"played at my desired, LOUD listening levels" is not on my list of needs, so there's one major difference. "I'm a power junky and a bass head" - ok, that's important to know. I mean, if the panny just all out quit for your needs, did you really get a fair shake at what it can do? Not everyone has to drive inefficient speakers to deafening levels. How do you think it would sound with a pair of Spendor SP100's at 90db? And what about the magnepan, dynaudio, B & W 801 owners that are happy? I don't think claiming 90db+ only for the panasonic was anywhere near justified on the basis of this one trial, so much at odds is it with so many other posters, and so sweeping is it in condemnation. The PS audio had more balls! No surprise!
As for 'tube,' 'cable,' 'isolation device' 'etc.' - I'm with you on those, don't have any of them, save for the Xstream and some power conditioning that I'm not currently using.
Needing medication, are you kidding? Have you read your own posts? You even apologized for one, while doing the same thing over.
Honestly dude, I'm just trying to be balanced and constructive and once you've read all my posts you feel otherwise, please post the phrases and comments for me. You won't find any rant from me like the angry one you made. But I am getting tired of this.
Finally, as you can see I've invited another PS Audio poster to my home in Vancouver for a proper test, possibly over a few days, with my Quad 989's. If you lived in Vancouver you too would be cordially invited to my home for the PS vs Panny side by side test - honest you would, I'm not kidding. You could bring your favorite reference recordings, whatever accessories you like, and have-at my 989's. I'm looking forward to it, me - my panny XR25 - and my Xstream Statement will be there with bells on.
I have no doubt the PS Audio will put me in a liplock, and I'm sure you'd love to be there to see it. However I think my XR25 (with 8 weeks use now) and Xstream Statement will prove a more worthy competitor than you might think - I listen to it hours per day, and have no worries.
If you're ever a-travellin through Vancouver, page me. I'm a happy music lover, and easy to get along with. And a few hours with Quad 989's is always fun - who knows, by then I may own the PS if the first showdown proves that successful - according to Sam Tellig, the HCA is heaven on the 989's. We'll see!
