Music simply made sense: musical lines said something; rhythms drove, pulsed, and intertwined. Phrasing, instrumental interchanges, and the emotive force behind the playing came through strikingly. The Optim S allowed a series of notes to be heard as music, ineffably and inevitably linked. This excellent musical communication manifested itself through well-balanced and full-bodied sonics. The harmonic structure of instruments was richly preserved, bass and upper bass were fast, tight, dynamic and propulsive, the high frequencies delicate, detailed and non-shrill. Sound was wonderfully free of edge, glare and harshness. Achieving this balance of music-making abilities and a full sonic palette is rare and easy to love." Stereo Times (.com)
