The sound of the PS audio system was disappointing- but it is very much a conscious decision by Paul and team to voice the speaker that way. Overly bassy and soft, very lush and old school sounding. Veiled and lacking any sort of modern speaker transparency.
The Whafdale Lintons were all midrange and no bass / treble whatsoever but i wasn't expecting much. Very poor sound.
The goldenear 1R sounded artificial and flat in the key upper midrange area.
my favorite sounding non-stratosphere costing speakers were the Voxatif Zeth (amazing midrange clarity and coherence), Larsen HiFi, Avante Garde uno (Esoteric room),, Audio Physic and of all things the Klipsch forte III sounded awesome! I loved theway they souded!
Biggest disappointment- the Buchardt S400. All bass and a flat midrange that lacked transparency and sparkle. I would rather own many speakers in that price range than the S400.
