Music Preferences and Comments: | |
Music Used (Genre/Selections): | jazz,rock, popular, classical, blues- I love many kinds, except opera - maybe someday? |
System Goals/Comments: | Fun, involving, non-fatigueing, makes me want to move my body while listening. The Emerald Physics are new after 12 years with the Maggie 3.6. It is a good extension of that speaker - baffle-less and open, but with greater dynamics and bass. The Thorens is a powerful, dynamic way to listen to records. The SPU experience is something that is rounder, deeper and more saturated than my other moving coil experiences. |
System Strengths: | Beautiful, extended treble, open midrange, low, accurate bass, images great, provides fun for hours |
System Weaknesses: | I'm sure that there are many ways for the system to improve. But it is good enough to enjoy music without aching for more. |
Video/HT System: None |
