Sonic Similarity Analysis

Both emphasize musical engagement over clinical accuracy with warm, smooth character that's forgiving of source material and speaker choice. The Brio carries forward the S-7900A's philosophy of making music enjoyable rather than analytical. Both feature excellent phono stages and work beautifully with a wide range of speakers through smooth, non-fatiguing presentation.

Signature · Warm, smooth, slightly dark with rich bass
