hello oliver,

i also don't like the a121 very much, the other filters
are far better in my opinion. 4-pole filters are not so
common as highpass filters, but nevertheless the a123 is my
favorite highpass filter. you should look for an opportunity
to listen to it, maybe in a shop near you, because filters
are always a matter of taste.

best wishes

ingo
