A bit perplexed at the OP's presumption that those who prefer a musical sounding system, don't also appreciate a large deep and accurate sound stage, dynamics and musical detail, or that their systems are, somehow, lacking those qualities. One of my favorite speakers was my Quad ESL63s. In my home, with a fairly large listening room, they just made good recordings of live acoustic music and vocals, sound more real and enjoyable than most everything else I compared them to. Regardless of how much one likes detail and dynamics, a trumpet doesn't have to blast in your ear to sound like a trumpet and a drum doesn't have to crack in your face to sound like a drum and Live Music, as I have heard and I've heard allot, sounds full, rich and harmonic, with an abundance of texture and ambiance. I don't believe I've ever heard a live acoustic performance that sounded lean or sterile. For the most, they just sounded, well - "Musical"...just sayn...Jim
