well to those who said it was dull etc all i can say is that i am impressed maybe it suits my MA GR20'S better i dunno but it's not got that false in your face midband that my cyrus gear had it sounds more open and spacious with great depth and warmth all the details there it's just not pushed in your face the bass is rich and tunefull and it sounds really gracefull. can't wait for my chord signature cables to arrive only got crappy ones on at the mo
