Follow Ups:
Never heard the ProAc 3.8 but I have heard the Response 4, and I think the Extrema wins the transparency thing for the treble. The Extrema's treble sounds thicker and more detailed. In the midrange however, the Response 4 which has ATC dome midrange drivers is more transparent and more detailed compared to the Extrema's generic fullness. And the Response 4 hands down beat the Extrema when it comes to bass dynamics and extension. Which is musical? I guess it depends on your taste - if you want sweet, rich dark romantic flavor, then the Extrema is more musical. OTOH, if you detest rich and dark, then go ProAc. Me - I like both. (and for the record, prefer either Extrema or Response 4 to those thin sounding ProAc Future series)

Flavor? Perhaps I need a refresher course in audiophile lingo?
tuna vs. caviar
British vs. German coffee
Hershey vs. Belgian chocolate
Budweiser vs. Guinness
BMW Z3 vs. BMW Z8
xxxxxx vs. SF Extrema
Yes, well that is perfectly fine, as long as you already have a feel for the objects being compared, you see.
I've owned the Extremas and could therefore draw the above comparisons.
