Nothing about it, songs, singing, playing, depth, clarity, cleanliness, makes it sound anything less than spectacular. To me. On my small system (Lyric Ti 140 integrated, Luxman D-05u CD player, Von Schweikert UniField 3 Mk2 speakers) its stunning. One the big one it is too. Seeing them in concert tomorrow evening, am so eager.
