I need help describing the sound of a SET to a friend in English.


I am trying to help a gentleman in this forum and I have the feeling that my English is getting on the way.

How would you describe the sound coming out of a SET?

Thank you!

I guess I was somewhere in the range...

"the music coming out of a SET is liquid yet it preserves dynamics, definition and darkness ( I do not know if this is how you describe the empty space between the notes) but the single most thing I like is that you can close your eyes and have the same experience as one would in a symphony hall....

Don't expect the power and dare to say heaviness of other and more powerful amplifiers, but because that lack of power I feel that they reproduce music like anything else, delicate in the sense that they preserve and reproduce music true to life."...

@lewm I was telling @emrofsemanon that if I had to sell all my audio gear, except I could keep 2 systems one would be the TechDas AF1 premium with the Etsuro Gold, the CH Precision P1 in mono phonostage, Ongaku with the Avantgrade Duo Primo XD or Acapella Poseidon. 

I did tell him many times that he has to listen, because he needs to know what he is getting into and that SET is not for everyone. 

I hear a lot about Decware, and I listened a couple in Spain from a colleague with their little horn speaker and when he told me the entire system was under e$3000 I was astonished for how good they sound. 

@emrofsemanon's question got my attention and I am thinking of getting a system from them despite the wait. Is there another USA manufacturer I should try to study and listen?

Thank you
