Laid back, or in-your-face?

I was doing some serious listening (there was no laughing involved) last night and I was a little surprised by how laid back my Krell/Kharma/Purist system was. I'm don't think any of these componants have a reputation for being laid back, but they are laid back!

Is your system similar in that respect or is it more of an in-your-face sounding system.

And then, which do you prefer?

Tvad,

Yes, candle holders should 'dance' at higher volumes, the candles blow out when it gets loud!

I assume you mean that since you were surprised it sounded laid back last nite that it is usually more forward, as in something had changed?

My Krell kps25s is pretty laid back sounding in my system. ( this goes for its digital section as well as preamp section )
My previous system with Krell FPB series amps and Avalon also, I would not call 'em 'in-your-face'.

For sure, I'm not the best to judge this, but I think and certainly hope that my system is both laid back and 'in your face' depending almost entirely on the recording and microphone placement.

-IMO
