The performance of various frequencies can, in two words, be described as

extremely homogeneous. You will not be able to tell them apart in well

recorded material, with able three way transducers. Such a composure exists!

The bass is very quick with top grade body and attack, not slowing at all. The

mids are very descriptive, with very good detail and purity, soft and

extremely sweet. The highs are delicate, with excellent body and special

plasticity. The stereo image has excellent dimensions and very good "black"

character, and by saying this, I mean the "black" space that separates the

instruments and makes them sound as separate entities, with lifelike

positioning in space, in well recorded material."
