I used to have a Cyrus II, which is similar sounding but

Stereo separation is very good and the detail is pretty
good for what they are but they are very aggressive
sounding, so need to be partnered with some nice warm
speakers.

I have a Cyrus II right here, playing now, and I can
assure you that the above is the purest gibberish.

It is possible that a person who is used to non-flat power amps might find a
flat response power amp to be too agressive.

Frequency response is ruler flat from 1Hz up, and
distortion is as low as any comparable amplifier.

A quick glance at the schematic shows corner frequencies outside of the
normal audible range. IOW, subjectively uncolored.

It has never shown any sign of aggression in all the years I
have owned it despite occasional provocation, and it
reproduces faithfully every detail fed into it.

We've got people around here who seem to affect speakers that are about as
non-flat as possible, so all kinds of unusual perceptions are possible.
