Bone Daddy,
Like Ian, I bought this one for comparison purposes on my own system. That Arcam/M&K system at Manchester sounded really impressive - probably best sound at the show. I just wanted to see how my own system compared. One thing is clear, the twin M&K350 subs were set rather unnaturally loud for my taste. It just shows that a bit of extra bass oomph can make a system sound significantly more impressive than perhaps it really is. I can get the same effect with the HGS18 if I turn it up a lot, but it's not really natural to do so.
As for the music, it wouldn't usually be my cup of tea, but I like good quality recordings of almost anything, and I could quite happily sit and listen to this one all the way through.
