 | | Accompanying the bass loss in loud complex music is a degree of harshness which can grate on the ear, but fortunately this lessens as the volume eases up, making for reasonably relaxed long-term listening. |
| | In fact, with music which is not too heavily scored and tends to idle along at a moderate dynamic level the 523 is very good at portraying a sense of space and acoustic round the performers. |
| | Under these conditions, too, it does very credibly in the imaging department, giving one of the best results in the group with one difficult passage for female choir. |
