If your system were a car!

Let's have fun here! If your system were are car what kind would it be and why? I'm still trying to figure out what mine is but still haven't nailed it yet.

Maybe a responsive roadster that allows you to move quickly, feel the road, corner tight but enjoy the ride. It wouldn't be anything newer but maybe a decade or two older. I haven't though of the make, model and year but I'm working on it.

The  reason is that my system can tell me what is happening with my recordings but not at the expensive of discomforting my ear. It is not a big system but it is accurate and with the top down feels great on a nice day. It is a performer but not bleeding edge tech. Not too hot, not too cold but just enough to keep you on edge and engaged.

I have small German (1988 KEF Reference 102 w/Kube Equalization System) bookshelf monitors that are mounted on 24-26 inch stands.

And to front the system, I’m mainly using a modified German turntable (1971 Thorens TD-160 — standard plinth, but with dampening underneath), with a Jelco SA-750D tone arm, and a Sumiko BPS EVO III, and an Adcom GFA-545 Mk II, and Adcom GFP-750 (which are decidedly American as apple pie), with AudioQuest C/Q interconnects and GBC speaker cables.

Combined together in a modest sized listening room, I can describe the sound bold and refined (within its limitations).

It’s quick and athletic like an Acura ILX/TLX, agile like a BMW 3-Series, but full bodied and smooth like a Lexus LS-460.
