extended bass, controlled mid range, loudness!

only if you resent the fact that you need to buy a power amp to connect to an integrated amp.

This is a great combination with the Arcam A85 amplifier, adds a good deal more bass and everything sounds much tighter. Some people have said the a85 doesn't play loud enough for them - well you wont be able to say that if you connect the p85. definitely worth the extra money.
