It is always interesting trying to discern which speaker sytem is more accurate. I listened to some very high end jbl studio monitors the other day, new they were over 40,000 to give you an idea. I brought some of my very best recordings and they didnt sound as good as I thought they would in this system. One particular song was a cut by Louis Armstrong, in my system, it sounds like every word sung, is so pronounced and spitty with lots of expressive sss's, in this system they didnt even exist. The funny thing is an audiphile vocals disk this gentleman put together of his favorites sounded amazing in my system. what's more accurate who's to say...
