I do not like those choices of bandwidths, they MUST have a 6K selection

I think the 7.0, 4.0, and 2.5 are the ideal three if they are decent
quality. Of course these are nominal figures. The Satellit 800 has a
6.0, but in reality, tests show that from set to set, the filter
varied from 6.1 to 7.4.

The AOR 7030, an $1,800 desktop, has a 7.0, 5.5, and 2.2.

Depending on the quality of the filter, a good 7.0 is much better than
an average 6.0 filter. The 7.0 will give the added frequency
response. Hopefully the filter will have a sharp cutoff so as to keep
hets, etc. out.

The Sony 2010 has 9.4 and 4.3 filters, and the 60db cutoff of the 9.4
filter is at 17.9 - very poor.

The Kenwood 5000 came with a 6.3 wide filter with a 60db cutoff at
23.9 - terrible! Their optional more expensive filter was a 6.5 with
a 9.8 60db cut.

So whether 7.0 or 6.0 is "better" all depends on the quality of the
filter.
