To me, large scale classical is the only weakness of the larger Shindo Latour. And just to be clear, although I much prefer many other speakers for large scale classical, the Latours still did a much more credible job with large scale classical than I expected.
What did you think was missing with the Latour?

I generally agree - but I find that to be true with basically all speakers I have heard. The acoustics of the symphony hall are so important to my realism no speaker seems to convey it to me properly. All other music, including opera , is fine on two channel.
