Sixty system slots: five quality tiers (Lo → Hi) crossed with six listening philosophies and six fixed mandates, each resolved in both directions — forward (source-first) and aft (speaker-first). Every pick on every page was derived offline by the frozen engine and baked into this site at build time.

Philosophy slots

Open architecture: integrated, power and mono amplification compete per slot.
