For

>

Excellent low bass and admirably clean treble and midrange

>

An unusually even-handed approach to different musical styles

>

USB input a nifty plus

Against

>

A slight added warmth in the upper bass may not be to every taste and minutely compromises detail

>

Highest treble just a shade shut-in too
