Thanks very much for that info, not having had the privilege of
trying the WL 185's I did not know of their performance. I only read
and heard the WL 183's which seem very good, so I was secretly hoping
the WL 185's might have been in a similar class, obviously not
judging by your feedback.
So the search goes on.
But thanks again for the courtesy of getting back to me with that
info.
