When does speaker distortion become audible?

I recently got some seas excel speakers and when I fired them up for the first time I thought to myself "wow, there's no distortion".

I find this interesting because I never really thought I was hearing any distortion from my previous speakers but maybe I was, and just didn't pick up on it until now.

Interesting side note, I think my personal speaker taste is moving towards less analytical, super detailed sound to a more musical, tone based preference (I think I'm becoming less tone deaf, lol).

When you can hear it...

Excellent. Now we just need you to get some tubes in there; then you'll have some real music ;-)

Funny B limo I just did the opposite. I went from Dyn C1 Signatures to the Raidho D1's. Now I never thought there was a lack of clarity with the Dyn's until I heard the Raidho's. But I wouldn't really call it a clarity issue but more of a blacker background with the Raidho. All along I've been using tubes and I can't believe how good the music sounds now. The pinpoint imaging and detail is almost like electrostatics. The only downside I hear is a very small but focused sweet spot.

I'll say it too - consider tubes!!
