Omg – classical music and this beast go hand-in-hand! Tunes in wonderfully dial works the base and trouble knobs are stiff. The lights all work has a nice Rich sound can really crank it out as well without fear of blowing it up lol. See pics for details – I really nice shape. Note: stereo sound and I can provide a video but when I press down on the stereo button there is no sound. Press back up and it’s in lovely stereo.. Though balance between 1 and 2 is the same so it could just be mono but it’s sounds too full to be in mono. Wanted to disclose everything I could find potentially in need of a tune up.
