With Miles Davis' Nefertiti, the band's propulsive drive, Davis' horn, and the transients of Tony Williams' drums sounded more realistic over the B6.2. With Wilco's Schmilco album, the B6.2 had a more intimate, you-are-there sound than the 3020, which put more space between us and the music. It's a smaller speaker than the B6.2, and it sounds smaller, too. Next we moved the older Elacs out of the way and brought out the terrific When we played test tones it reached the high 40-Hertz range. Bass did go satisfyingly deep for a speaker of the B6.2's size however.
The B6.2 is leaner in the mid-bass but is also better defined. The B6 is softer and blurrier, with a warmer tonal balance with more weight.
