not sure really, the db field size for the body of pm's has a limit of 16777215 characters and the pm wasn't that big. more likely the problem was related to the actual display of it. of course there isn't anything in the error logs though so i might never know what happened.
I actually think that's fairly accurate in the sense that the O2's share a pretty similar tonality to the L3000. The O2's do kill them in resolution and speed though.
I got mine from moon-audio for $2050 (they are an authorized dealer so you get a valid US warranty). They get drop shipped straight from the US distributor in California.
