Does anyone know why they changed the rating from an A in the October issue to a B in the current April 2012 issue in the Recommended components section? Thanks.

The original A rating was provisional, based on the fact that its review was also in the October issue. Class B was Michael Fremer's more considered rating when he was polled when we compiled the April 2011 issue's listing.
