I went to a PBN Montana epx speaker from the ML Prodigy. Much cleaner impact on the low end side. Mids are more realistic, However, you will not find a dynamic speaker with the same upper register holographic magic that the panel speaker gives. It is close but not the same.
Which is more realistic is up for debate and personal preference. I would say system synergy and room dynamics will play a good role in your search. Go listen and determine for yourself. Thats the fun part.
There is a coherencey about a well designed dynamic speaker that you will notice over the ML. Once you get to that level of speaker, each has its trade-offs from perfection but all are so darn close it comes down to personal taste. That said, I do miss the magic that the panel gave.
