System Strengths:	With German Physiks: Huge soundstage, 3-D "breathing" imaging, taut bass, killer transparency and speed. With Peak Princess: Razor sharp imaging, expansive soundstage, excellent LF for a 2-way. With Stereolab Angelus: Superb disappearing act, extremely coherent point source with fabulous bass for a 2-way.
System Weaknesses:	Though it's not perfect, there's nothing "weak" I can identify. Each subsystem in the line allows me to experiment with the cable systems we're developing.
