Yes, implying the 604e's are not transparent is not what I intended. I was trying to mentally compare two extremely good speakers that are in two different rooms with different set-ups. I probably should have just said they are both great.
If you do go after NS-690's the very first version had cloth surrounds. Later versions had foam surrounds. Also later versions can have the woofer magnets shift which is a real pain to fix. If you get a good pair I would use a liberal amount of epoxy on the magnet assemblies as a preventative measure. I just fixed a pair of NS-890's that are 4-way's, cone lower mid, smaller Be upper mid,and Be Tweeter. They also sound very good but I haven't tried to compare them yet.
