It's interesting how such standards can vary so widely. :)
I ask the same question about reference.
Right now, I am listening to a pair of Tyler Acoustics MM5X's built as a floor stander with 26 dbl in the bass from an 8 ohm, 88 sensitivity rating.
Good tonality, decay, dynamics, and they seem to disappear in my room with my setup (CJ preamp and CJ tube amp).
This is from a guy who also has a pair of Thiel CS 5's and used to own Maggie 3.6s.
And I do not mean to offend anybody and have not heard the Role Audio Starship SE. :)
