[QUOTE="Tzs503gp, post: 1032228, member: 19443"] Bearing in mind that what you are hearing is a reproduction of a reproduction ( your system as well as Sarels equipment have changed the sound that was vibrating in Sarels room when these samples were played ) You are not hearing ML electrostatic speakers. You are hearing your speakers. You say your ears are untrained and call yourself a newbie. And you prefer the box speaker sound in this comparison. I will venture a guess and put your age in the mid twenties to early thirties. Well guess what. Your preference is perfectly normal given the above. You like the sound bold and forward. It?s almost a given that the type of music you like, matches the bass reflex box speaker sound signature. No problem there. If you stick to this ?hobby? for a few more years, and have the good fortune to experience different types of speaker, (and learn to listen) you will come to realise the mid-fi quality of the Monitor Audio Silver 8, and all the other similarly engineered box speakers at that price point. If you ever have the opportunity to experience ML speakers or other better engineered speakers, for two weeks or more, I?d love to hear what your preference will be, running this test again. [/QUOTE]
