System Goals/Comments: | Enjoy what I have. Rewire Ittok. Do I really need a better subwoofer? |
System Strengths: | Plays all types of music well. (Really--that is so important!) Fair three-dimensionality, tone and pacing. Vivid sounding. Sounds alive. Very involving. I never feel critical when listening! (I hope I never eat those words--because I have so many times over the last 30 years.) |
