Fun comparison.....

[infinitely baffled]

I find myself depending on my mood and what music I am playing choosing one or the other speaker to listen to.

This is very interesting. May I ask which speakers perform best with which musical genres?

My interest is in bass-driven electronica, so I value musicality, dynamics, bass extension, power handling and soundstaging

(...) Good question on the amps/matching. I feel like the anti-Christ but I have fallen in love with the Devialet Expert Pro 1000 and 440. I like everything about them, the sound, the convenience, the internal dac's, the internal preamps and phono stage (with the right gain cartridge)....everything works for me. Any of the Devialet work great on either the M3's or the X2' as well as the Kaweros. (...)

Then you should listen to the Devialet Expert Pro's driven by the DCS transport/upsampler or the Network using the AES/EBU input ...
