What High-Efficiency Speaker (97 and Higher) and Amp Combo you Heard that can Reproduce a Drum Solo Most Realistically?

Odeon are dynamic? Oh well, we have different level benchmarks

You haven’t even heard my model. And yes big Odeons are quite dynamic. And I have heard all manner of other horns...oh yeah and in college I owned Klipsch La Scalas as well...whatever else they may be, dynamic is definitely one of the things they are.

Also had Decware HDTs, which are superb micro to mid dynamic single driver speakers

For the Harts I predominately use the McIntosh MC225, Wyetech Topaz211 with a MX 110x. Pre I rotate to the Micro ZTL or the darT.

Since mid Oct the Divas are set up in my listening room on the mainland. The Divas were build for my place on the Island & learning lots about the Diva's in my existing room before I bring them up to the Island.
The Wilson Maxx are in living room and the Harts are in the kids old playroom. Musical chairs happen infrequently due to the size of the speakers. My turntables, digital and tape do not get moved out the music room.
Bought a Pass Labs X350.5 which is in rotation between the Classe, and the ML23.5. My darT sounds the best out of the 3 SS amps that I own but it doesn't have the current to go beyond 83db. There are times I want it loud and therefor my search for "the perfect amp" continues.
