Hola. You have a sickness called Joey-itis. We all here have it, and there is no cure for it. What happens is this: you just want to listen now, the musician(s) "playing" for you, playing and making the music for you, not just hearing the music. And starting from cables, you can listen a difference for better or worse. You have your personal sound taste, too. If you can not listen a difference, then, it is not that component of you system that you are changing, who it is making it, of that difference that you are searching. That it is why there are so many good brands on the marketplace. They all have their own personality, and do sound different, not necessary bad or good. Just "trust your ears" and choose what you liked most. Also, my personal liking, might be different than yours. Perhaps you might like heavy well defined bass, and I liked it thin. But, we all like the stage, love the music, and it must be precise, where all the musician(s) are "there" having air between instruments and with their right size, too. The 3D that you get through ML is breath taking. Coherence from top to bottom, the right pitch, the harmonic texture of the musical instrument(s), should be in your room. Little nuances must be understood without any effort to your ears. A little advise. Take your time with your components. Get their sound into your heart. Remember that our immediate memory only last about 10 seconds, so, when you make a comparison, live sometime with your new component. That, it will make easy if you want make the change or not. On the other hand, what you are looking is good. Listen to the new Montis, this speakers are very impressive and are one of the best of the whole ML line. Happy listening!
