tomc hing, pls don't say that, there are many tai c here and outside. we still have a lot things to learn from them.
for opera/classical, your system need to be balance. no balance, you will miss lot of details especially when listening opera. the voice of soprano and tenor, you will feel the power and details, otherwise it will be very boring and can only listen few mins instead of listen thoughout 3 disc over an hour.
as you said, no need to say too much, let's action! you feel the difference!
