System Strengths: | Very clean and Lucid - like a window that is so clean you walk into it. |
System Weaknesses: | Tendency towards brightness - perhaps some (?) solid state glare. On the other hand well recorded music does not have this 'problem' so perhaps I am just hearing what is there. Working on this. |
