It certainly isn't perfect but my audiophile brother commented on the extent of musical detail it provides, and that was just off the tuner.

Right now my biggest complaint is a slightly, wellll, not really "harsh" but "strained" character to the system, with a lack of real bass definition. Both of these symptoms should be significantly improved with good amplification, which I'm looking into right now (as you can see in my post below).

Let me know if you'd like any updates - it'll probably be four weeks before I can install the amp, and before offering any final conclusions I'd really like to give it another couple of weeks to break in as well.

PS Congratulations on your coupe. You're gonna love it!

PPS The stock shocks and struts are seriously lacking. I strongly recommend quickly replacing them with either Bilstein or Koni units.

PPPS Porterfield R4S brake pads will significantly reduce brake dust and improve stopping power. Just be sure to use anti-squeal compound when they're installed.
