System Strengths: Great soundstage and yes.. imaging. LFE is a very strong point.. Going for full tilt over 130dB 25Hz and up.

Comments on HT System: Great Soundstage and imaging with a lot of work with the placement of the mains. Astounding LFE performance. Weak on bass management and eq for the five remaining speakers. Bass spreads out throughout the house. (BAD)
