|
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Eclectic: male and female pop/rock vocals, jazz, bluegrass, classical |
| System Goals/Comments: | Want to enjoy listening to music, not equipment. Want great imaging/soundstaging, detail without harshness. |
| System Strengths: | *Very* smooth, can listen for hours without any fatigue. Great detail and balance, very wide "sweet spot", surprisingly good bass for a 6.5" woofer. |
| System Weaknesses: | Depth of soundstage (due to speaker placement constraints, not the speakers themselves); slight lack of top-end "sparkle" on cymbals, etc., but OK as tradeoff for lack of fatigue (the Nordost cables definitely extend the high frequencies vs. generic zip cord) |
| Video/HT System:
None |
