Without having enough hours to know better - Golden Ears(My wife) was listening soon after replacing the 1.'6's with 1.7s and her first observation was better imaging and separation and placement within the sound stage. I left all acoustic treatements in the same position as with the 1.6's as well as speaker position. Next, we noticed some inner detail in the mid and upper frequencies that had been missing.
As an aside - I listened in the dealer showroom and those were not heard.

I'm driving it with the Cayin AT88 and mac mini with tranquility dac set-up.
