I played a few CDs to demo the sub-$1000 M3V2.5 system I put together for my friend. I'm using a 5 watt per channel Muse T-Amp and a 3.5 Amp Pyramid Power Supply for power. The Dayton HT120 subwoofer helps out. I'm using the Sony CX90ES 200 CD player as a source. I played a Columbia CD of Santana Abraxas. Sounded thin and lifeless. It's a bad recording. I played Getz/Jobim Verve CD. It was great (a little chesty at times). I played tracks 9 and 11 from the Miami Vice CD. Sounded great. I played Paul Simon's Graceland CD. It sounded thin and lifeless. I played Loreena McKennett's Elemental, it sounded great.


Enjoy the Music. Trust your ears. Laugh at Folks Who Claim to Know it All.
