The Rare Audiophile Observation, Bigger Is Only Different

I recently ran two separate speakers in my living (listening) room, Morrison Audio Model 17's and Linkwitz Orion's (current version). The tradeoffs are interesting. The Morrison speaker system is excellent within its frequency range. I have never heard clarity, timbre and space so naturally represented except in a good live performance space. The bass is somewhat light but again, very clear.

The Orions present a fuller bass and also represent space very well. Where they do not quite match the Morrison speaker is in ultimate clarity.

I think the clarity issue has to do with the # of drivers in the Orion (5 vs 2). Since 2 of the drivers are woofers, the fuller sound is accounted for.
