I did not mention you are right!

I have two sets of speakers. Older Audio Note AZ-1 (91db) and I bought the Andrew Jones's Elac Uni-Fi UB5 to sell the AZ-1s. BUT, although I did not give the Elac's enough time, I think I like the AZ-1s better. The sound I get from them is more neutral than UB5s.

I did a test between these speakers back and forth with 5 other family members. The track was Dave Brubeck's Take Five and there is this part where there are drums AND we played this part at least 5 times. Every time, every single of us found the AZ-1s to sound like real drum.

I think sadly (for now at least), I find the UB5s overrated. They are great speakers, don't get me wrong but I was expecting more I think. Yes, they are harder to drive than the AZ-1s but my Class D is around 100wpc at 8 ohms and that is plenty for most speakers around. Even enough for power hungry Magnepans.
