| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Classical and jazz |
| System Goals/Comments: | High value for money Transparency & aliveness Natural and non fatiguing sound. |
| System Strengths: | Magical combination.There are no perfect system, but this one is the best I have heard. Smooth, life-like sound, transparency, excellent dynamics, great soundstage, timbral accuracy, immediate recognition of individual instruments character, detail, very good tonal balance, full frequency range, excellent bass management. Biting top end when the music demands it, relaxed when the music relaxes. The soundstage is huge, the speakers just disappear, the detail and air is just outstanding, music is alive with realistic and not sibilants vocals, clean deep bass ... Thanks to: Jud Barber (Joule Electra), David Berning, Steve Deckert, Susane Candeias and to my friends-advisers Xavi Ibañez, Mauricio Urkidi, José Ramón García and Antonio J. de Palacio. |
| System Weaknesses: | A bit difficult perfect fine tuning I'd like more detail and soundstage Next changes: 1. Voltage regulator for CD transport |
| Video/HT System: None | |
