"...darned if they didn't sound pretty good,,,"
That's been my assessment-the brittle highs you'd expect aren't anywhere as prevalent as you'd assume. However, it must be said that, in my case, I've been recently trying some Tannoy Monitor Golds (12") in prototype cabinets, and they roll off sooner than my Magnepans (though they're very musical) so I'm sure that has a 'helpful' effect.
Interesting idea about that MF-is that the tube-based 'buffer' that they tout for CD use? I think it's 'tketcham' on 'vinyl' who speaks highly of that unit.
