What is your main sound system?

With our first test disc, Bjork's Vespertine, we were impressed with the way the SD1000 filled our medium-sized office with surreal sounds. Airy acoustic jazz from the Jacques Loussier Trio sounded open and alive as well. But the system couldn't manage Frank Zappa's Yellow Shark. That recording sounded like it was coming from the slim speakers rather than from the large concert hall where it was made. We also found the sound to be pretty bright straight out of the box. A few adjustments to the bass and treble settings fixed that problem, but don't expect to play this guy too loud; the SD1000 starts to sound pretty shrill when you really push it. It's a good match for bedrooms and offices, not large living rooms.
