| System Goals/Comments: | Bass is quite fast and articulate but could be improved (ie spend some real money on woofers)

| System Strengths: | IMHO excellent sound for money invested (<$2500 CDN or $1550 USD) Sounds as good at low volumes as any system I've heard but will play very loud as well with good dynamics |
| System Weaknesses: | Bass is good but not great yet. Will get to 27Hz in room but is a little uneven. No analogue source yet |
| Video/HT System: None | |
