One can clearly hear the acoustic stage of the concert hall and the 'breathing of the orchestra'. 

The piano is reproduced with pinpoint accuracy and creates the effect of presence exposure. 

The kettledrum in the low frequency range with powerful 'fortissimo' is deep, distinct and very open. 

The deep, dense and intense bass infinitely fills the space. 

An excellent multidimensional space conveys dynamic contrasts. 

The widening of stereo panorama offers perfect alignment to the front, 

depth sensitivity and   realistic fast transitions.  

The dimensional canvas of sounds flows and envelops the listener. 

The timbre of instruments and voices is transmitted naturally while preserving their fascinating warmth and power, 

which makes a lasting impression.
