"The low-end was a big surprise. Full, taut, and surprisingly punchy, the Audio Space did not disappoint in the nether regions. The gorgeous midrange I was expecting showed up in spades. Voices and instruments were lush, rich, a joy to listen to. The dynamics were excellent, macro in particular. The sound was very well balanced across the frequency extremes, with accurate instrumental and vocal timbres." -- John Zurek
