It sounds better to me.

This would be the same little old lady who pinned the meters on a set of MC501's with new PMC monitors?

Please keep in mind ... the TB2i's were still the property of Ian from PMC when said test was performed....

And... he assured me that the speakers (being his own pair) were thoroughly broken in.

Now, that being said... The meters have seen the "1000 mark" several times since that initial test day.

Seriously though, the 402 drove the Cornwalls and was never pushed very hard!!!!

I had a 352, a 402, and 501's .......... the 402 is the sweet spot of the three imo.

Most say the 501's blow away the 402 ----- i did not hear that ---- what i heard was the 501's had a tad tighter bass, and the 402 had a tad sweeter midrange and highs. Understand these are very small tad's, and my ears are old now ... :>)

don't know about soundstage and imaging, as my room size was/is a little too small for proper speaker placement to get the best of these qualities.
