Do you think it has to do with what they are being partnered with when you addition them? I don't really care for the levinson house sound and that is what they usually are paired with at shows. I will tell you most of of my friends that don't have FU money I know and are in this hobby have one thing in common, revels. And they can make them sound spectacular, and by that that I mean engaging and down right fun to listen to. I used to sell hi end gear at the two best stores in Minneapolis. I have had extensive experience listening to some of the most esoteric the industry offered, too many to list, and most of the time they only disappointed me. Revel on the other had has constantly surprised me with their performance verse their price. They used to be made in California and wish they still were, and that's my only nicpic. As for sound I personally haven't heard a speaker that sounds more real for the price. Serious question, what do you like better?
Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre?
I realise that the music industry seems to care less and less about timbre, see

But for me, without timbre music reproduction can be compared to food which lacks flavour or a modern movie with washed out colours. Occasionally interesting, but rarely engaging.
So my question is, what are your loudspeaker candidates if you are looking for a 'Technicolor' sound?
I know many use tube amps solely for this aim, but perhaps they are a subject deserving an entirely separate discussion.
