Bertil, Saying 'click versus clamor' is an excellent comparison of K-7 vs K20. I don't think it's as much mirror as shutter on the K20. On the K-7, the sound includes some lower register notes. I think they are coming from the mirror box. Overall, the K-7 is quieter and sounds more damped. Regards, Bob S.
