I got rid of my system because the bright sound was damaging my hearing. I could hear to 20k before but now 16-18k. Brightness aside, it did not sound right to my ears.I got a simple system to "get by" with and have yet to find the perfect sound.
Have you heard people rave about headphones and how no stereo sounds as good? That's my system. Finalizing an upgrade over my current system, but basically aim the single driver speaker at your ears and viola, headphones PLUS soundstaging (in spades). This system excels with CD's unlike most current hi-end systems which over-resolve necessitating vinyl for acceptable sound.
