When switching to Benz everything seems to be more polite, slower pace , you don’t sit on the edge of the chair anymore , but it’s just an illusion , it kicks when is needed and the best think about is the way it presents voices ,I think stereophony is on higher level as well .Benz is a story teller while Zyx seems to be a showman.Not much difference soundwise between Wood SL an Ace SL , all above IMO obviously.
