Dual volume control - it should be standard

That's great if you're listening to mono recordings, but how do you know where to set the relative balances if the channels are different? Maybe some of the sounds are supposed to be off center. It would be hard to set stereo recordings by ear until you have spent quite a bit of time listenign to the recording. By then you've spent too much time obsessing and too little time enjoying.

It took me about a week to get used to. No obsessing. By the way, in many recordings right channel is louder to various degree.

Inna, for what ever reason; you're right about that right channel thing. I "always" dial into the center channel, and everything else falls into place.

Knghifi, Are the Bose 201s really that good?

Knghifi,
Outstanding!Talk about bang for the buck, I`m envious.
