That was my assumption going to the show. However, after having experienced three models from the range, diffuse is a word I definitely would not use anymore. The rendition is just different. There is more energy coming from reflections, just like with instruments radiating in all directions, but somehow our brain makes sense of it. The effect has a name, but it evades me right now. Makes one wonder what is more true to life.

No worries for those about to rock...they rock...they will bring down the roof if you want to.
