It was an excellent result for both jazz and rock. Of course, your choice of interconnect and speaker wire can always influence things. Keep away from silver, lol.

There will be some systems out there that are too bright or with too much silver. They may be okay for things like jazz (piano trio or quartet), but with rock music, they just get to bright/harsh/thin.
