| System Goals/Comments: | • Get a subjective 'good' fidelity without cluttering the living space with hardware. • Be simple and practical. |
| System Strengths: | • An ability to play all genre of music convincingly regardless of their recording quality at any volume. • Got the drive and precision yet very much breathing and quite approachable. |
| System Weaknesses: | • A high frequency roll off and fair amount of distortion and colouration due to the original xovers. • does not have a lucid, spot-lit vocal presentation of single-ended triode based system. |
