I thought this would be a good time to ask everyone for their listening opinions comparing the SA-XR25 to the XR45 (2003 models) and to the XR50 (2004 model). The XR50 has replaced the XR25 and there is some new functionality. Those features that have changed are fairly well documented in this forum.
I believe in Canada there was approximately a $200 retail difference in price between the XR25 and the XR45. Apparently a significant reason for the premium was due to a different power supply. This is a feature that the average consumer would not be aware of.

I'm sure everyone would be interested in this listening comparison since the XR50 is available now and the replacement for the XR45 (XR70) may not be released until much later this year.

Does the XR50 sound almost the same as the XR25 and how much better is the XR45?

I would welcome any comments and we should all remember that they are subjective and not everyone will agree.
