System Goals/Comments: | Smooth warm, non-fatiguing sound, but with good detail and natural timbres |
System Strengths: | Really excels on jazz and string quartets; does solo piano very well too |
System Weaknesses: | Slight congestion in the lower midrange, could image slightly better, but this is more the fault of the room than anything else; could play with more dynamics on the largest orchestral pieces, but one can't expect miracles from a 2-way speaker |
