I'm not the only one who can hear it. One of my friends came over for breaky yesterday. As soon as she walked in, she asked me why the M5s sound so different. Then I pointed to the Pioneer on the floor vs the de-commisioned Denon on the counter. As she was listening she said it's clearer, more crisp, wider, more pop, images better defined and they're deeper on the stage. BTW, I taught her what to listen for and the vocabulary. smile

Thanks. I'll have to check those bad boys out.
