Sound is obviously the most important thing to consider. Im just thinking it would sound just as good without the sticker

I'm sure they could accommodate.

Stil I hear people ordering them without logos. I would to. In black.

The Twenty logo looks like crap - mine is sitting in the bag it came in.

There is a very nice review of the KX-R Twenty in the December issue of Stereophile by ohns Atkinson.

I got my KX-R upgraded to Twenty last month. Straight out of the box it sounded "bright" and rough. I left it turned on for 24 hours, only then it sounded nice again. The sound signature of the Twenty is quite different and need a little getting used to. But it seems to have better definition on details and timbre. It really shines with Classical Music....... I left the house for 2 weeks with the KX-R Twenty unpowered and the same thing happened.

Dealer also quickly upgraded my MX-Rs to allow me to play with all upgraded "Twenty" components. I am pretty happy with the results.

The biggest change I noticed in the KX-R Twenty was a more palpable sense of location among artists on good recordings and a complete elimination of a bit of harshness the KX-R had on high frequencies.

Listener fatigue is now zero.
