Hi Bill
The new single motor enables the XL to retrieve more detail. I guess it must lower the noise floor.
It has v good speed stability, all the XL strengths are there - powerful dynamics and bass etc - however depth and spatial aspects are improved. Details in the background of an orchestra, for instance, are more obvious, greater bass texture is another plus. There is more information generally available from the recording and so instruments sound that bit more real.
I think it is a very worthwhile improvement over the 4 motors I had previously and is a neater set-up.
hope that helps.
Dave
