I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why.
@erik_squiresDepends on listening level and music. I could listen to music a lot lower volume if I could have old-school loudness controls like the Denon's and now some rare Yamaha integrated amps have.Is exactly true. I am a purest, in that I l...
