Hoxuanduc,Gosh you guys are literally splitting hairs length-wise!
When anyone writes a review on Audioasylum, the Audioasylum site provides a generic template. One of the headings in this generic template is "similar products". Now, what is one supposed to write in here? Only products that are in the same price, build quality, sound quality as the actual speakers I bought? Well, as it so happens, I auditioned all the speakers I listed at the time I was planning a speaker purchase & due to (mostly) budget reasons ended up buying the 604S2 speakers. I did not write the review in the context of these other speakers; the review was solely for the 604S2.
The statement about the speaker showing the effects of cabling & upstream components was made to shed some light on the accuracy & neutrality qualities of the speaker. Of course, within the context of its price range. What was implied was that, if driven with some upper mid-end or low hi-end electronics, the speaker could tell the listener whether or not changing CDPs, cables or pre was enhancing or degrading the overall sound quality.
You are mostly correct! There is another gentleman in Denver, CO, who has taken delivery of a pair. Could it be you, by any chance? The Excel Array has been heard in Brad V's system w/ his components & the 604S2 in my system w/ my components. So, you are right, the comparison is not totally fair. There was some similarity-Brad V's ss amps were the Odyssey Stratos amps, which have the same lineage as my Symphonic Line amps.
The Excel Array is based on the NFR ribbon while the 604S2 is based on a metal dome tweeter. Other drivers are also different. So, the 2 speaker sounds belong to 2 different categories. In my previous post where I mentioned this, I was implying that the metal dome tweeter sound was more appealing to me for the reasons stated therein.
Hope that this clarifies things.
