You know, in all honesty, I can't say if their upper bass is more full and warm or lean and dry. A lot of that will have to do with the electronics you use. One switch on my interconnects will make it go from ying to yang and vice versa.I do have to say their bass is very good, as is the rest of the spectrum. One thing to keep in mind is that they are quite revealing and in my opinion an upfront/lively/revealing speaker (though I wouldn't call them aggressive), which means a lot of effort has to be put in the rest of the equipment. I would recommend a laid back cd player and amplifier. Also one of their minor points is that their image is a bit smaller than life...yes they do have good depth, and width, but their height is a bit limited (at least in my case). But of course I'm coming from an omnidirectional speaker that threw a huge soundstage, but a lot of the details were left to your imagination and low level resolution were barely average. Eveything has pros and cons. Hope that helps somewhat.
Volent Paragon VL-2 or Monitor Audio Platinum?
Anybody heard both of these? I'm playing with an idea of getting second pair of speakers that specialize in very focused, 3 dimensional presentation but with a fairly large soundstage too for mostly a low level night listening. I've heard both of these have a tremendous treble and detail that warrants matching equipment. I understand Volent monitor has bass extension that would surpass MA PL 100 so the comparison would be probably with PL200 or perhaps even PL300.
Anyway, any impressions are very welcome.
