I see that most of your posts here end with "we shall see", "time will tell", etc., but I have a feeling the ML may be a keeper... I say this not from experience (of which I have none) but your descriptions of its performance (effortless, smooth, velvet glove) bode well for its future IMO, much more than if you were using words like "detailed" and "revealing".
I once heard someone advise that it's best to avoid speakers that immediately impress, they are the ones most likely to get on your wick after a time. No doubt this would apply to pretty much everything.
Is it a bit of a beast? We could do with pics of it with you stood next to it, to give an idea of scale. In your new jeans
