Tvad, " If you run the Balanced Pagoda balanced, in my opinion, its at least as good if not slightly better then the Tubadour III SE for about $400 less" from teajay who reviewed them. And it’s truly balanced, not like the AM. The balanced version was designed to be a real balanced structure; i.e. two Pagoda, one in positive sig and one negative.
