Hey John, the journey with my new combo is only at the beginning of its infancy. The amp has like 1 hour on it. The speakers are well broken in, as I got them used here on the forum.
You are quite right, I listen primarily to classical; the baroque and classical periods mostly, yes absolutely chamber mostly. Then jazz fusion/jazz, then early-mid 70’s prog rock (mostly symphonic like ELP, Genesis, Yes, etc in their early-mid iterations), then acoustic, blues, blues-rock, Americana, jazz vocals, rock last.
The sound is full, rich, very well rendered from bottom up, and very detailed all the way through. I have all the volume I need and love, and then some, which is exactly what I didn’t have all to often with winded single ended SEP and tepid single drivers. You need some power with prog rock, rock, jazz rock, blues rock. Single ended and single drivers don’t render it properly especially in the lower frequencies. And to think this is just the beginning, far from several hundred hrs of amp break-in. I’m flabbergasted. The difference to me is like a solid roundhouse right to the side of my head, night and day, not even close.
A better more detailed report in a few months. I don’t listen to audio every day, and an average session might be 1-2 hours, do it takes quite some time.
