System Goals/Comments: I just got a Talon ROC 2002 to improve bass response of my system. Now my goal is to improve upper and mid-bass response of my system.
System Strengths: The system sounds very musical. Image, air and soundstage are among of the strongest points of this system. After adding Talon ROC 2002, lower bass is one of the strengths of my system.

Comments on HT System: Over all, I'm quite impress with the performance of this HT setup compare to my older setup which has EAD TM Signature+EAD 500.

Soon after I realized that I don't spend much time with HT system, I sold my beloved EAD gears and spent more money on my stereo gears.
