This 5.1 system is primarily used for listening of classical and jazz music, even though it is also used for watching DVD & HDTV. For SACD and DVD-A, I usually listen to the surround track, which utilize the 5 channels for a more immersive experience. For redbook CD though, I usually just listen to the 2 main speakers.

The highlight of the system is the ribbon tweeters on the Aurum Cantus speakers. These speakers sound very transparent and natural. Combining with the Bryston amp, the imaging and instruments seperation is excellent. Bass is very good for monitors, but not as full as floorstanders. I've hard time integrate the sub with the system, thus I only use the sub for recordings that have LFE.

The AC speakers are very well-built, with very high quality finishing. For bookselve speakers, they are also very heavy. The V3M weight about 36lbs each, V4C 46lbs, and L2SE 25lbs.

Overall, its a pretty nice system, but there's always room for improvement :) Any suggestion would be welcomed. Thanks for reading.
