The notes are heavier, the bass is tighter, a slight added warmth. The notes have more authority and separation is cleaner. The way lingering vocals fade away has got an atmospheric feel to it. Added dynamism. Most obvious in bass heavy tracks.

No stage expansion. Male vocals are emphasised, and sound closer.

Nutshell. There is a difference. The PB5 adds more authority to the bass and lower-mids, more dynamics, heavier notes. That added warmth makes it sound even more organic. The note decay adds a layer of atmosphere to the music. An odd thing to say. Everything sounds more natural on the PB5 as opposed to just the Amp15.
