RE: "Homogeneous" sound effects of certain speakers

Peter a who owned Scintillas noted that they had no "meat ont the bones" and basically that is what I hear with magnepan and quad and apogee. The bass is thin the sound is "flag" f-ing BORING to listen to. Dynamically same same across every recording. Bass dyanics is about as poor as it gets. It's why most of the Maggie guys I know have left them...for BOXED speaksrs. Or better panels....ESL. ESL like Soundlab or even King Sound make much more sense to me. Vastly VASTLY better midrange and treble. I'm not a huge bass hound...So I could be fine with a U1 but the only US dealer that carries AN and Sohndlab appears to have had selling Soundlab when they auditioned $30,000 AN E since they don't sell the Soundlabs anymore. But I guess that's coincidence.
