As the track builds, the Aura stays in control, keeping the lead voice and backing vocals in perspective. Bass is tight without being dry, full and weighty without ever becoming overblown.?Users Reviews:?Get some decent dance music and biwire some good mission or b&W speakers and you will be on the edge of your seat when listining, base is amazingly clean accurate and full. Music sounds so dramatic and detailed. The main thing i noticed was imense sterio seperation, you hear little bits of songs firing from the left speaker to the right with imense precision. ? ?
