Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections): Classical, small group jazz, classic rock, blues, just about everything really
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
Video/HT System: None
