The fact that SOME inert boxes sound lifeless and dead does not prove anything - it just shows that SOME designers like the sound SOME people consider lifeless and dead.
IMHO Al. M point is essentially correct. The only thing in common between a Stradivarius and DDK Bionors is that they are both impossible to reproduce and unobtainium - although it seems it is more possible to get the first than the second.
You are welcome to your opinion, sir. The fact you have chosen big Wilson’s and DCS gives me a good indication of your preferred sonic signature.
Best regards.
