Primarily dynamics...the Odeons sound significantly more realistic with acoustic instruments, particularly horns, strings and especially piano. There is more "action" in the presentation with a stronger sensation of a real person putting pressure on keys and hitting strings (for a piano) or the draw of the bow on strings. The blatt of horns is far more real (my daughter plays trumpet so i have a contemporaneous comparison) and gets a lot closer to my believing i am hearing the real thing.
Coherence and tonality are similar and the basic sensation of transparency is also similar...until you take into account the "action" and dynamic scaling. Then you realize there is additional information coming through with the Odeons that was not coming through with the Ref 3As.
Another friend of mine had Ref 3As (He also had the Master Control MMC like me...both of us upgrading to Be tweeters), that he got to replace Verity Audio Rienzi speakers. Then he heard my Odeons and was bowled over and went out and bought first a pair of Rigolettos (not the current version, which is hugely dynamic as well) and then a pair of No. 32s (a great, great speaker). His system now is very realistic sounding (with Aries Cerat Diana integrated amp that he bought from me) and doesn't think of upgrades anymore.
