| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Very Eclectic, but tend to favor acoustic folk music, classical and soft rock |
| System Goals/Comments: | Would like a little more low end impact - and will consider a subwoofer eventually. Also planning to upgrade tubes from 6550C's to KT 90 Type III for somewhat greater power. |
| System Strengths: | Extremely realistic, very coherent sound. Excellent imnaging and large soundstage. Among the better panels I've ever heard - I'm a big electrostatic fan and these fill the bill! |
| System Weaknesses: | Dynamics could be better - Plan to upgrade tubes to somewhat deal with this problem. |
