.."Seems a fairly accurate statement, except that, compared with the best of actives, I'd characterize the leading-edge transient-response of passives as 'better, not 'much better'. But what is much, more significant is; "The one area where the passive was lagging was in the trailing edge where the sound wasn't as sustained as it was in the actives" If this is so, then this would be a debilitating handicap in the quest for realistic reproduction, one would think, as this is the area where the resonance of many instruments, and the completion of many notes, are effected. Reproduction of music compromised in this area would be also compromised in its realism, one would also think."

It would be dibilitating if it were a significant difference. It was not. Noticeable when listening very closely (read anal like) but subtle none the less. I certainly never missed it. I should have been more clear.

The other thing two of us were on you about was your misunderstanding of what E-Stat was saying about the "warmth region". He was NOT talking about his desire for a warmer sound but that the region in the musical spectrum HE CALLED the "warmth region" was important because what is done there can produce either cool or warm sound..he wanted his sound to be neutral. He was simply referring to this region as the "warmth region". You kept harping on his secret desire to get warmer sound and then how he was denying it. You misunderstood what he wrote and wouldn't allow yourself to be corrected...even by the guy who wrote it! Very annoying.
