The best that $2000 will buy. Trust me, I own it. Best for jazz, classical and any kind of vocals. For use in a small room (less than 12 x 14). Brings a lots of detail with excellent transparency. Excellent deep, crisp and fast bass. Not meant to be played extremely loud. Why buy Planet 2000, when the original sounds so good and is so cheap used. The MMG uses the same technology as the 1.6 QR but by adding the REL sub you get true sub bass that the 1.6 QR is missing. For those of you that have not heard the TDS AT, it is the "non tweakers" tweak. This is not some subjective mumbo jumbo, it is real thing. You will experience tremendous detail. Finally, buy quality cable and keep the length as short as you can. It can make a difference, but never spend more on cable then you spend on CDs in an average three month period. It ain't worth it, go buy some more music.
Audiovoice, I love this system! I am always thinking of how I could have spent less money and ended up with equivalent or even better sound. I think you have confronted that challenge and solved it beautifully! I wish i could hear these components all working together, but as it is I've only heard them separately, plugged into different things. Your advice about cable-spending is also sound, and I hope to follow it in the future, although at the rate I buy new music (both LP and CD), my 3-month expenditure would buy a set of Valhallas.
