I have owned a few and they are all really good at imaging but the Tablettte 10 that I own now are fundamentally different. The new one is sealed versus all of the old ones are ported. The new ones are nearly identical in size and shape to LS3/5a. The Tab10 has the incredible midrange of the LS3/5a without the odd mid bass hump and the Tab10 is vastly more dynamic. It is not as meaty sounding as a KEF LS50 or as airy as a Harbeth P3, but definitely is one of the great UK super minis.
The old Tabs could sound a bit tipped up in the treble (but not bright) and the Signature models could sound a bit lean and fast.
For any Tab, choose an amp and sources on the warm side of neutral. Tubes are great for this speaker as are big warm but detailed solid state amps.
