    Detailed Test Results

    Sound Quality

    The Riva Concert has overall good sound quality. Bass has good impact, but lacks depth and is a bit subdued. Midrange is fairly even but is a somewhat hazy and grainy. Treble is fairly extended but is prominent and a bit sizzly. Does a so-so job of recovering room ambience and overall sound is somewhat hazy. No significant difference between wife, Bluetooth, USB and Line sound quality. Provides a decent volume level in a medium to large sized room.
