Music preferred: 60's Rock, Jazz and some orchestral works and Classical. Also the normal audiophile 'Vocals' fare.

No doubt about it, SS knows his stuff. This system is a wonderful all-rounder, one that definitely floats our boat - fast, dynamic, and powerful. Not for the faint-hearted - it shakes the foundation, but in a very enjoyable way, without bass problems. The first track on Felipe de la Rosa's "Flamenco Fever" LP from M&K was magical - and it's not even one of those super-explosive tracks from the album, just a normal traditional song.
