"The U2, for me, sits up there with the best I have ever heard. It’s beautifully haunting at times. You can get better or different, sure but what I hear from the U2 is just remarkable and it leaves me wanting for nothing in a streamer."
"The soundstage is solid as a rock, and offers up such a detailed sound but this never comes at the expense of the emotional connection. There is beauty in the air, solidity and life. Nothing hides here but each sound has a roundness to it that keeps fatigue away as well. "
