I'm sure the Soliloquy's handle microdynamics just fine. Every review has to have some kind of negative so as to add credibility as a reviewer that said product is not perfect. It quite possibly could have been that the reviewer just wasn't particularly "impressed" with the Soliloquy's microdynamics as he was with the mid-range and bass. I would bet that they microdynamics are fine on that speaker. And your deal sounds excellent. If I were in your shoes, I'd be awfully tempted...
