What's this?  Lack of truth in audio advertising!?  SAY IT ISN'T SO!!!  :shake:

But seriously now, that aSShole who wrote that should be drawn and quartered and the pieces mailed to his family.  Er, I mean it's a mostly harmless ad I'd say.  Could use a picture though, that's never a bad idea.

Not only that he says, "sonicly neutral to warm with great imaging and powerful bass" which makes it sound like it is an amp ad.  I mean, a blt could have beneficial affects to this regard but I wouldn't necc' say it has these properties in and of itself.

I have sent e-mails to sellers to correct various ads in the past.  Some respond positively b/c they didn't know any better.  Others just blow me off and keep the ad the way it was.

Why don't you drop him an e-mail and see what happens.
