For me politeness consists of 1) A laid back perspective--the performers are further away from the speakers. 2) A sense of compression of dynamics, a kind of deadness, a lack of "jump" factor. 3) Smoothness and lack of irritation(good in itself, but not when coupled with a lack of dynamics).The 4BST is the perfect match for the bass response of the PSB strat gold. The golds can be boomy with lesser amps. I have heard the boominess while driven by Adcom and NAD amps, both of which I owned. With the Bryston, the PSB's are amazing! Thew energize the room and are rock solid.
I like the ML's a lot, yet I opted for the PSB's. Why? The PSB's are a better "real world" speaker. I do not have the room for the ML's which need to be well away from all walls. The PSB's need it too, but are less critical, especially with the blend between woofer and midrange.
The PSB's have better bass and can play louder too. Sometimes I want a loudspeaker to play loud.
I have never heard the Brystons drive ML's and I'd be curious as to how that combo would sound. Someone over at Audio Review has this set up, check the reviews on the 4BST over there.
Detail is excellent. There again, only with the Silver Audio interconnects.
