I have had the 3b-st with NHT-2.5, 4b-st with NHT 2.9, and 7b-sst with Revel Salons. I found the NHT and ST combos slightly fatiguing when it comes to extended periods of listening (over 6 hours a day). However, I can listen to the salon-sst combo all day (at moderate volumes).
I concur with the above statements about the bass control, detail, etc.. with the st and the sst lines. I cannot make statements about the improvements in detail or other sound attributes between the st and sst because I am comparing apples and oranges due to the differences in the speakers. But the important fact I wanted to add was the fatigue free nature that I observed with the sst line.
My buddy has the 4b-sst with Revel m20 speakers and it sounded increadible.
I have heard the Salons with ML 436 (?) amps and various other speakers with extremely expensive amps. I choose the sst line and have zero desire to change.
