I think I had a sound I liked over the last few years, but always changed the gear around for some stupid reason or another. Sometimes you get on the merry go round and it's hard to get off.
As far as the sound I like...........very dynamic, full range, coherent, tonal accuracy, great imaging and soundstaging, razor sharp focus, deep, impactful and tuneful bass, lots of detail with no listening fatigue, and above all, the sound must connect me to the music. I know it when I hear it! I guess not that easy when you add it all up, but I've had it before in my room and fully expect it with the SP Techs.
