Right. Its getting to where I don't even like to use terms like transparent or neutral or revealing because of the way all those are associated with hifi sound that's really just one thing or another that someone has managed to hype in a way some will notice favorably. HT is a wasteland of hype with not one good thing to be said for it. Which is a shame, because HT done right is absolutely wonderful. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367
The bass in my system is beyond bass. For sure it could be even better, there's no such thing as a ceiling as far as I can tell, just endlessly better and better, but its reached a level you have to listen to an awful lot of movies and music to even begin to get a feel for whatever sins its committing... or omitting. Cinematic thuds are never thuds but surgically precise strikes that hit you in the butt- or solar plexus, or chest, or wherever. Point is no two are the same, they are not even thuds really but actually have individual character, which tells me what I'm getting is what's on the sound track. Its never, ever the boom boom boom you hear walking down the aisle at the cineplex, let alone sitting in the million dollar high end demo room.
Its better than all of those, and yet it cost nowhere near what you'd think. Which is why I keep yammering and ranting on and on trying to get through to people. For all the good it does. Mike gets it. Tim. There's a few of us.
Wish there were more.
