2 -but a muddling, homogenisation, or compression of the presentation
Definately not. They do a wonderful job of seperating instruments (one of the improvements I got when going to choke loaded driver)...it allowed me to hear all these little details. A friend om mine actually commented on this when he came over for a listening session, he really like the fact how the instruments sounded seperate.
3-Again I have to respond positively ;-) Don't forget that the Dragonfly is not a single driver wideband, but a pseudo wideband with a tweeter in the middle. And is a really a co-axial speaker. This often facilitates improved integration in the frequency balance.
Although to be complete I would have no idea why a single driver speaker would lead to head in vice type requirement especially in the integration of the reproduced frequencies??
Ray please take note that I am a dealer for Bastanis product in the Nehterlands. But I am responding as a fellow music lover and diy audio fiend :-)
To infinity and beyond!!!
