Re: WBT Silver NextGen and Eichmann Silver bullet

>>One minor quirk is on vocal pieces where the singer is increasing in volume as the notes change, the image seems to spread out >>slightly from a localized area to cover more of the soundstage. Bloom if you will.

This does not sound good or correct! there seems to be some added distortion created by the ESB vs. the NG 'cuz the images should not expand when the volume increases. This certainly not bloom!! Bloom does not mean an expansion of images as I understand it. If you have heard any of the Audio Research SP-series preamps from the late 1970s(like the SP-6A) then you might understand what bloom sounds like in the midrange: the midrange is euphonic (beyond reality, to me). It certainly does not expand in soundstage size with increasing volume.
