Your speaker switch is very interesting, and a good example of room and placement having a significant impact on the listening experience. I also recently had a speaker journey, purchasing pairs of Harbeth 7ES2, GMA Callisto,and JMR Bliss, and auditioning them all while they were in-house together. In my system, my room, and with the placement limitations I have, the least expensive Reynaud was the clear winner for me.
