Review: Quantum Resonance Technology Symphony Tweak
I also have a Symphomy Pro and I've found it to be a bit too much when placed in the same room as my system. There is such a thing as too much detail and that's when listening can get fatiguing. But I've found a happy medium by relocating the Quan...
