But does it actually sound good, or are you just helping them out with some marketing, because this reads more like a press release.
It’s a news item, Nate – not a review. I cannot comment on sound quality until I have properly reviewed it, I’m afraid.
So did you ever have a chance to listen to a unit in person? If so, what are you thoughts?
I’m afraid not, David. Looks intriguing though, doesn’t it? If I ever do come across one, I’ll be sure to test it.
