System Goals/Comments: | To be small, relativly full range with good imaging and minimal listening fatigue. |
System Strengths: | My system images very well, it is fairly neutral, and it is very pleasant to listen to (very little listening fatigue... for me at least). |
System Weaknesses: | I have heard systems with better detail, bass, and highs... my system is far from perfect. The subwoofer sounds great when it is setup correctly, but the phase and volume settings are very different in different parts of my room. It took me a while to figure it out, and god help me when I move to a new place... Finally, my system plays loud enough for normal listening, but it runs out of power quickly when I try to 'crank it.' |
