System Goals/Comments: | The system is only a delivery device for the music. The less I need to think about it the better the job it is doing. |
System Strengths: | Neutral, relatively resolving without being analytical, conveys rhythm and pulse well, and serves the music |
System Weaknesses: | Lacks the sense of flesh provided by the best tube systems. The 20 - 40Hz octave is mostly MIA but not greatly missed. |
