There is plenty of mellow melancholy Liszt but that is not what we think of when we hear the name, we think of a Faustian Liszt battling his demons in the piano concertos Mefisto Waltz and the Paganini etudes, not the Abbe contemplating existence here and beyond in the anees de pelerinage.
Since I listen to chamber music at in the room volumes I can easily see the 3.6 not being able to fill that bill either. I think of the Tympani IV and IVa as a great speaker and the 3.6 as a good or very good one when biamped. I don't expect it to be a near tympani in performance. I am sure that the maggie novice asking about the relative merits is not quite aware that the Tympani is predecessor to the MG20, not a deconstructed 3.6.
