| System Goals/Comments: | Feel the performers' Presence, with reasonable detail, get that warm glow. The more simple technology the system gets, like tubes and vinyl, the better it sounds. |
| System Strengths: | Creates envelop of 3-D Wall-O'-Sound to melt in to. Great musicians play at my place regularly. Gives a very personal-presence impression, and my interpretation of how I want to hear music. Leads to lots of listening sessions and hooks other on audio reproduction. |
