[/QUOTE]Yes in case of the SHL5 plus X.P.
Bass performance of which version?
No, if you have heard the plus/plus 40th version before, because: ...the plus 40th and plus XD are virtually same speakers but re-named.
Several M40 and SHL5
No idea if MK 1,2 or whatever
All of them clearly had problems keeping a tune right, basnotes were slow or boomy.
Once the dem were managed by AS himself, I eyed panic from him, people just left room fast again.
A friend had the SHL5 and deeply regretted the investment based on internet ravings.
I might accept some compromises in bas performance with cheaper priced loudspeakers, but these are not cheap at all, how much are M40 ?
A pity really as their smaller models are in some ways stunning.
