MSRP System Price ($10,640) $8999
System Hallmarks: At this price point, one
could only have purchased a phono cartridge or turntable
in the high end. Instead, one gets a full range system with
incredible attributes. Room filling sound, bass that surprises
in both its weight and power but mostly in its fidelity,
its tunefulness. The midrange of this combination is very
impressive and alive. The presence region is vivid. One of
the aspects of the Joseph speakers is their way of getting
out of the way. Music seems to, as with M System 6, be different
on every disc. Isn't that as it should be? Different studio,
mics, artists, producers, all of it. This system gets to
that. Sorry if those old recordings with cassette tape sound,
they will sound like cassettes. Mapleshades will sound like
you are up at Pierre's sitting in. Handsome gear, engaging
sound, endless hours exploring your old collection.
