| Room Comments/Treatments: | Not yet; still working on it
|
| Music Preferences and Comments:
|
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Anything as long a it's recorded well...but mostly jazz, blues, R&B, and a little folk
|
| System Goals/Comments: | Probably will sell the Krells and go with Tubes instead. Can't get the dynamic range I'm looking for with solid state amps. Don't get me wrong...the Krells are good but I think I can do a little better...
|
| System Strengths: | Clearity. Since the system is a 3 way mono, I get pretty good imaging and soundstaging. The Krells are excellent with clarity and detail.
|
| System Weaknesses: | The Krells make the system a little too dry for my blood...and a little too hot on the top end. Going back to tubes will probably make the difference there.
|
| Video/HT System:
None
