Fpeel, I am not very good at the descriptions but I'll try... and keep in mind that this is in the context of my room with my system. The EMC-1 provided a warmer sound which at first can give you the impression of reduced detail and dynamics until you realize that all the info is there. I found it to be very musical with good timbre and a nice overall presentation. The res. products have a similar presentation to each other which in general is very detailed and dynamic but not harsh or in your face. They seemed closer to neutral. Which would sound better to someone to me is largely a matter of associated equipment, musical preference and personal taste. They are all built very well but the aesthetix are totally different.
