Live in the present not the past. To say the SF is not the epitome of "highend" is just plain silly. It's like saying Mercedes is not a luxury brand or Ferrari is not a sports car company.

Just because something is new does not always mean it is better. Living in the past is not an accurate statement when your talking speakers less than a decade old. More accurate sound, what does that even mean ? less midrange and more forward high's ? What makes that sound better? I go to a concerts and I would'nt say oh this music doesn't sound accurate because it sounds the same as it did in the 80's ie rock bands. Its all just someones opinion.
Romantic sound is another term repeated on forums, if having jazz and classical music sound good is romantic sounding what is wrong with that ? Playing a trumpet by say Chris Botti on a more forward sounding tweeter can make you turn the volume down really fast.
