I listened to Revel Salon + all-Levinson (separates) system recently. This system is regarded by many to have perfect synergy, not surprising since all components come from the same manufacturer.I could not find any flaw to the sound I was hearing. However, I also could not find anything special in its sound, nothing that pulled me into the music.
A much cheaper system (but NOT exactly cheap in absolute terms), Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage + Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista M3 + Musical Fidelity A3CD, gave me a much, much more involving musical experience. Right, the system's sound was a bit euphonic, and not quite as detailed as the Revel+Levinson, but the sound was simply fabulous.
And this is all because of personal taste. Somehow, my analytical mind is telling me that the Revel+Levinson system was the "more correct" system. But the artistic part of my brain tells me that the SF+MF system sounded "better".
