I understand this post is old, however, I am getting so tired of manufactured cliche descriptions of audio sound. Terms like "organic, neutral, warm, biased, tight, extended, rolled off, and relaxed." It's all a bunch of crap. You guys parrot what some "critic" made up before most of you were born. Here's an idea. Describe how your equipment makes you FEEL. If you are taken away by the presentation of the music, if you become lost in the "imaging" and forget the equipment, then you have a special piece of kit. The KWI-500 allows me to FEEL. And that is what it is all about.
