Ted just demonstrated the Synergistic stuff at a BAAS meeting at Jason Serinus' house. Everything he did was an improvement(He would take things out, and then put them back in.). Dynamics and separation were standouts. I believe he suggested starting where your dealer said to start(Gravitron and Bass Station), Shellie. That combination is just under a grand, I believe. Without the ART stuff, the music seemed to stay on one plane.
