The thing about the 3D is that its lowest HSF is relatively low, it goes
from around 14 KHz to 38 KHz. That's not bad, but it's not good either.

Well, it is. I don't know of many products that go down that low which
go up any higher. You may not want to go down that low (I certainly
don't!) but it's still an exceptional range.

Let's not be so negative. Even the Sony 1304, which hardly anyone would
describe as lacking, only goes up to 50 KHz. This is still a PC newsgroup,
nothing wrong with high end, but you are way out there at the 99.99% level.
