Wondering if anyone has directly compared the new Aida 2 with the original version ( same system and room ) and if so, what were the most significant differences? A comparison between Aida 2 and other speakers would also be very helpful. BTW, I owned the original Guarneri for many years and it still remains one of my all time favs....would have kept it if I had a second system. Great match with my CAT JL2 amps. Many thanks
