System Goals/Comments: | Accurate music reproduction that is musically satisfying for me, I want the performance to happen in the room with me. |
System Strengths: | Resolution; dynamic contrasts; soundstage |
System Weaknesses: | My goal was to put together a system that was accurate and musical, that would draw me into the music. IMHO I have done that. However it is also revealing and on bad recordings or bright recordings, all the information is apparent, good and bad. GIGO... Sometimes I miss the warmth that my older ARC tube gear provided, even thought it was much more veiled sounding. Oh well, everything is a trade off in some regard. |
