Collector magazine 'Goldmine' reviewed Grant Fidelity system
Long time collector magazine "GOLDMINE" who publishes the vinyl record price guide to collectors, has just released their latest review on Grant Fidelity 'Most flexible system' under their High Fidelity column. The system includes everything from wall out to your ears for only $3,000, but deliveres - reviewer Todd says "The bass response from this (MBS-1) bookshelf speaker — and everything else — went far beyond my expectations."
"Aesthetics aside, the A-348 is a brilliant blend of power and smoothness that could turn salt and vinegar to buttercream." "Through the Grant system, it’s possible to hear vocalists breathe as they expel the last syllables of a phrase — a wonderful thing."
"The Most Flexible System is not just an excellent audio system, it’s a digital audio package that could make fast friends with analog lovers in the course of a weekend. I’m happy to make its acquaintance."
