Brian,

This is just the thing: the "mega speaker" has absolutely fantastic waterfall plots - Stereophile reviewed them and J. Atkinson remarked that they were perhaps the cleanest waterfall plots he'd ever seen.
And, in fact, if anything the sound of the mega speaker sounded a little cleaner and smoother than the Dunlavy (although I can't be quite sure). But the fact remains that through the Dunlavy speakers instrumental timbre seemed correct. "Familiar" might be the way to describe it for someone used to playing those instruments - everything seemed to be made of the right materials. Timbres through the mega speaker, while smooth and coherent as life itself, lacked a convincing organic signature. Weird.

citroeniste,

The set-up for the mega speaker was fantastic - couldn't really ask for more, which is why it sounded so incredibly impressive. Still, every speaker has it's own timbre, or sonic signature. The mega speaker's voice didn't match my concept of "right."
