Detail, detail, detail

System Strengths: Vocals are absolutely incredible. Wide soundstage. Tight bass.
System Weaknesses: Imaging. A bit difficult to pinpoint sources directly in the middle (likely due to TV that sits between my speakers). Haven't really repositioned speakers after getting the projector.

Response was a bit bright, so I use the 1.2 Ohm resistors on my MG3.6/R.

3.6s don't quite make it all the way down (velodyne sub for supplement on HT).
