System Goals/Comments: I don't listen loud. Just make voices and midrange instruments sound real, please.
System Strengths: Midrange but with the Verities, there is nothing really drawing attention to itself. It all sounds in balance and very real.
System Weaknesses: Stuff I don't care about: volume limitations inherent in a 50W amp.
Video/HT System: None
