| System Goals/Comments: | Looking for a system that gets the midrange right with a detailed top and bottom. The system is not played very loud but needs to have realistic dynamics at a moderate level. |
| System Strengths: | Good midrange. |
| System Weaknesses: | Weak upper bass. Needs a sharper attack and more detailed sustain. Need room treatment to create a wider and deeper soundstage. |
| Video/HT System:
None |
