Hi,
Sure.
My wife and I auditioned several speakers at a local dealer. The brands we listened to were Yamaha Soavo-1, Monitor Audio RS-8, MA GS-60, and Revel (I can't remember the model). All four listening tests were done in the same room with the same electronics. The speakers were set up in 2-channel only for the first round of listening. The electronics that were used were a Marantz 8001 AV reciever, a Marantz CD player (don't remember the model), and a Bryston Amp (again can't remember the model). Each set of speakers was rotated into the room for each test. We brought our own music to listen to; Stravinsky "Rite of Spring" , Dead can Dance "Toward the Within" , Joe Satriani "Crystal Planet" , and Soundtrack to "Macross Plus".
We tried to run the gambit with the music....
I went back to look for my original notes that I took during the tests, but I could not find them. So the following is based off of my memory;
The main sound quality differences that I could tell between the two is the clarity in the MA GS-60 was incredible in the highs, mids, and lows. Where the clarity in the Yamaha was only good in the highs, and lows, and I would say average in the mids. When we listened to the Rite of Spring on the MA's my wife made the comment that the sound of the opening bassoon solo was the sound she hears when she plays the bassoon. The MA's just delivered a sound that was crystal clear and natural sounding. The Yamaha's delivered a sound that was good, but it sounded like a recording. We were both WOWed with the MA's, and just thought that the Yamaha's were decent speakers.
Hope that answers your question,
