Wow, excellent review. Thank you so much for taking the time to write it.
It is very well written, and I might also say that I completely agree with your assessment of these two models. I find it comforting to see others perceive my loudspeakers the same way I do.
I want to add one small comment. I agree with you 100% on the floor bounce notch from the two π towers. I have measured it, and I know it's there. But there is one easy "room treatment" that takes it away completely. If these speakers are used in a bedroom, the mattress prevents the notch when you're sitting on the bed. The drivers are just up high enough to get over the bed, and there's no way for the floor bounce to reach your ears. So they make a good little bedroom system.
Of course, for home theater or music listening rooms, there's no question that it is better to put mains at ear level and use flanking woofers blended through the modal range. That's the best approach I can think of. But for a secondary bedroom system, you can get away with the "mattress treatment" to prevent the floor bounce notch.
