Heard one at the LHS the other day. Wasn't that impressed. I have an IHC 4-8-2 that has been retrofitted with a MRC sound system. The IHC sounds better, IMO, but that's hearing them at different times and different places. My Challenger should arrive mid-week and then I can side-by-side compare. If the rumors are true and the Athearn is using the same MRC decoder, then maybe it's a speaker install issue or with some tweaking the Athearn can be made better. <br /> <br />I do like the detail of the Athearn, but not willing to have inferior quality sound. Maybe I've become too spoiled with the BLI cab forward, which has oustanding sound[:D]
