The LA-200's staging was extraordinary. The 100 was forward sounding with large center images, while the 200 painted a lifelike sonic landscape that was incredibly holographic. A major improvement. Inner detail was finer with greater air and finesse. Nuances weren't buried or smeared.
Individual voices are easily discernible.
Time was natural, not colored. To sum it up the LA-200 produced more realistic sound at half the price of the Metaxas. Nothing is perfect. State of the art products can fool us into thinking things can't get any better. Technology advances inevitably lead to improvements.
