Even though I can only hear to about 10K at my age I found the ML Summits as dull as day old dog dung when driven by the MC402 compared to a direct-coupled amp. If you have a 2 ohm tap on your amp it may be slightly better at the high end but you pay with looser bass. More power, such as the MC501 also seemed to help but not enough. You just can't impedance match to 0.7 ohms with a transformer.
