Compared to the 19 the Carmel is lacking extreme highs and lows. However the midrange from the 414s of the Carmels is arguably a little better than the mids of the 416 used in the 19. Both the Carmel and 19 are IMO first rate speakers. As far as dynamics, clarity and imaging go the Carmel is the equal of the 19.

I recently owned both 19s and the Heathkit version of the Carmel, the AS-21. IMO the 19 is the better speaker but not by much.
