How much of the difference that you [allegedly] hear between
Leister and Morales is real, and how much is because you assume
that there is a difference, so you find it to be the case.

And if you can characterize the German sound as "Darker and with
less of an edge," cannot some with equal earnestness characterize
it as "Brighter and with more of an edge"?

Besides that fact that "darker" is enough of a problem, when you
add and "edge" to it you place another level of difficulty on top
of the problem.

What is an edge?

To refer to German sound is, I feel, one way of describing a
character of
sound produce by many individuals, not all of whom are German.
To me it is
best illustrated by the sound of Karl Leister. This sound is
very different
than the US/French sound produced by people like Ricardo
Moralles; pardon
me if the names are not spelled correctly. I would characterize
the German
sound as 'Darker and with less of an edge' but I realize that I
would be
pushing Leesons' button by trying to use a graphic visual
description of an
aural phenom.
