I've caught up a bit on the thread and admit that excellence in the time domain is highly correlated to what audio-wonks call 'inner detail'. And if it sounds lively at low volumes, that helps even more. Case in point: folks love Low there design speakers (full range single driver cone) for excellence in both those aspects, plus they are super efficient which allows pairing with exotic low-power triode valve amps — also known for fantastic detail. However, Lowthers are usually 1/4 wave transmission line enclosures, IIRC, and IME studio requirements are best suited to acoustic suspension designs. Long story short, it sounds like the NS-10 is better than I have always been told.
