| System Goals/Comments: | Looking for elusive balance between "PRAT" qualities and transparency, soundstage and all that stuff. |
| System Strengths: | Highly controlled, bags of power, rich controlled bass on right recordings, midrange transparency, good imaging, never sounds harsh. |
| System Weaknesses: | It's a stereo system, is more "round earth" than "flat earth" - lacks some dynamic capacity, room has limitations - inadequate treble - want new speakers soon!!! |
