Room Comments/Treatments: | pretty small |
Music Preferences and Comments: | |
Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Jazz, Classical |
System Goals/Comments: | I like a full, rich sound with minimum compromise in clarity/transparency/oppenness as well as speed ... I am not much of a "soft, sweet, warm" sound guy. |
System Strengths: | Since the introduction of Elrod power cords and the Pursang interconnect, I am VERY close to what I want. There is no brightness, no sibilance, and a nice musicality ... |
System Weaknesses: | ... with the King Cobra, I have all the "soul" and musicality I am looking for but have to compromise on detail. With the EPS 3 sig, it is the other way round ... how do I get the best of both worlds without spending another 3000??? |
Video/HT System: None |
