Hot. Loud. Intense. The headroom is unbelievable. The guitars are very sharp and detail in midrange is exceptional. This sounds so much more vibrant and alive than the other versions I’ve reviewed (which are also great, just not this intense!) I spin my wax with tone controls OFF as I like a neutral presentation. If your system tends toward brightness, be aware that this may shred your tweeters! Wow. The drum sound is killer.
Final Grade: 5
