S7horton,
When I described them as laid back it is not in a negative way at all, quite the opposite. Guess what I'm trying to say is they are not "Bright" as in overly high ended (I've had Polks and B&Ws and they were much brighter speakers). I love the sound, quite neutral and accurate, always pleasant to listen too, I never get "listeners fatique" where as with the others I did. Same goes for the NAD, unlike my old Yamaha stuff which at times seems to scream at you the NAD keeps is smooth and warm (must be the kind of sound the really hi end guys get with tubes and I understand why they go that route unfortunitly my wallet cannot afford this luxury). As for the Rotel I have looked into it but some of the reviews it received were not up to Rotel standards, which really surprised me :(
