"The R1 seems to present a complete lack of glare in the top end, with the treble sounding so pure that the R1 almost sounds "too dry" after becoming "acclimatized" to the SWO-XXX's sonic signature. "

Agree. The SWO-XXX presents a very clear and articulate top end but the R1 sounds more natural. Cymbals ring with greater realism and weight so to speak.

"The R1 offers quite a bit more bass energy than the SWO-XXX, bass that seems to move substantially more air in my room and down into the floor, but doing so in just a tad too relaxed a manner."

I too noticed this as well as the bass did seem to extend another half octave but in my case it was a bit looser as well. I have been noticing it tightening up though :-)

Now U got my curiosity up about the P-004 being mated with the R1!!
Just when U think it can't get any better, along comes something new that raises the bar again.

As it stands right now, I am perfectly content with the R1 and maybe the cryo'd R1 that I ordered just might wring the last bit of musical synergy from the P-079/R1 combo. Now if I can only get that chewed up mounting screw out without a struggle I'll be happy :-)

Cheers,
