Adrian and Fredk,
Yes, there is a learning curve about expressing those differences, and certainly a training session for newcomers to the double-blind experience makes pinpointing obvious differences and even nuances easier. Anyway, I'm writing a sidebar for the next AudioFile Axiom newsletter using my own rating sheet based on the M3 vs B&W Nautilus session. Working title is "Critical Listening" or something like that.
It wasn't an easy double-blind test by any means. We could have picked a real stinker of a speaker to put in with the M3 but early on in the planning when we decided to schedule a double-blind comparison we wanted it to require honing of one's listening skills.
