A couple of points, I am a Manley dealer, and I can't sell one to you, but it is really terrific, both musical and flexible. The BAT VK series stuff is more dynamic with great bass control but the BAT stuff in general is a little dry. The Steelhead is wonderfully musical.
Before you buy the JM Labs find a pair of Usher BE 20, they cost only $16,400.00 and will outperform the NOVA Utopia, They are one of the only speakers on the market with a pure Beryillium concave midrange to match the superb Beryillim tweeter that Usher makes. ALso the speaker uses two 10inch Eton woofers. So if you look at the configuration and quality of parts used, the BE 20 is directly comparable to $50k speakers like Kharma or Martens.
The BE 20 is a remarkable loudspeaker for a very reasonable price.
