We told you that the Monitors in some ways are better, which is image size and overall impact, the larger physical size of your speakers makes for a big powerful sounding speaker.
It all comes down to what specific virtues you value most image size, vs a smaller more focused yet still big sounding loudspeaker with a greater amount of overall clarity which is why we told you to keep your loudspeakers.
If you visit us and listen to our Persona 9H setup I think you will see the merits of what this design brings to the table vs many other similarly priced loudspeakers, with the voicing of the Personas they are very equipment setup critical, not more so then other similar high resoloution loudspeakers but for them to really shine you have to really have the right set of gear, or the speakers will not sound anywhere near what they can sound like when everything is right with them.
What equipment was on them when you heard them and how big was the room?
