| Room Comments/Treatments: | Large victorian style room, needs big floorstanding speakers to fill it with sound |
| Music Preferences and Comments:
|
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Classical, pop, rock |
| System Goals/Comments: | Need a new preamp and maybe a new phono stage! |
| System Strengths: | Monoblocks are hugely powerful. 180W into 8 ohm Class A, practically doubling into 4 ohms. The Kef speakers generate an absolutely massive soundstage using Uni-Q drivers. |
| System Weaknesses: | Highly sensitive to cabling between preamp and monoblocks. Also, I think the phono stage could do with replacement. It's a bit too laid back when compared with the rest of the setup. |
| Video/HT System:
None |
