we are all powerless what it comes to room geometry. I perfectly know what you have in mind. unfortunatly Maestro is not for all rooms, and it just can be throwed in somewhere. recentrly I have heard it in wrong room with VERY wrong orpheus amplifiers(which was not capable to drive 1,7ohm impedance maestro have) and it sounded so bloated, so muddy and soooooo sloooowwwwwwwwwwwww in uper bass and no low bass. it was tootoaly shocking how bad this speaker can sound. in right room (which does not inforce 100-200hz, but inforce 20-40hz) Maestro is absolute killer.
I also heard evidence tempatations with was very balanced speaker in lower registers(thought not so enjoyable as maestro on large clasical or dynamyc music) and a bit dark in lower hights but with sparkling uper hights. transparency from it went with lifted frequency response. transpaency from Maestro come throught drivers ability not responce lifting trick. Dynaudio also have less depth perspective. just another man's opinion.
