QuickTake:

Pros: Open and detailed uppermidrange, with superb spacearound instruments andhence some highly plausibleimaging, For the money, thisis well worth a look, even inthe face of the competition.

Cons: A little coloration in the tenorregister is a bit much withsome speakers, and bass isn'tthe best controlled.
