They do the sound pressure into your chest thing so many speakers are incapable of doing. My Infinity speakers do it, but the authority the Roles possess is mind-numbing!
The soundstage was deep and wide with just the Nightingale amp, as it was with just the Monarchy monoblocks. It is so immense with this configuration that my jaw drops every time I listen to a recording. It doesn't matter whether it's a CD or an LP, the depth is such that I have no rear wall, the width revealing I have no side walls!
I knew the Role speakers were something special when John Rich and I opened the boxes and saw how they were packed; an awful lot of thought went into protecting those speakers from the vagaries of shipping. But even more thought went into the owner's manual.
I really can't imagine asking for much more than these speakers are able to give. I'm enthralled with every recording I've put on since it was bi-amped. The Enterprise would be welcomed by me to replace my Infinity speakers if I could afford to do so. I am shocked at how beautiful, how real the music is; every recording, every one!
It is marvelous. I want this speaker!
The Roles do strings!...Strayaway Child is a hand grenade of treble info and the Role Enterprise speakers handle the attack with aplomb.
Along with the fabulous imaging these speakers are capable of producing, listening to music (not sound) is where these speakers sparkle.
...real bass, down below 40 Hz, is definitely there.
The Roles allowed me to hear Bill Evans' piano crying along with Miles' angst almost too deeply, affecting me as I'd never been before. I've listened to that record a few million times (well, close, but you get it, right?).
The Roles do a great job of bringing you close to reality.
