Other Notes: "In short, the Melos KICKS ASS! It does nothing to alter the ambient soundfield in any way when compared to a direct hookup of the Theta DS Pro Basic II feeding the Muse subwoofer and VTL 225s; whatever soundstage depth is coming out of your source, the Melos will pass it along unscathed. Bob's guitar track reproduced as vividly as ever, with the walls of the Manley studio very obvious in their placement and size. Even Muddy Waters and the twentysomething Buddy Guy on Muddy's Folk Singer (Chess/MCA LP CH-9261) sounded properly fleshed-out, their acoustic guitars ringing through the old Chess studio with a sense of palpability that surprises me every time I play it." - Stereophile
