If aesthetics are your thing, this metal and glass rack will have you salivating.
On the Europa, our rig sounds lively with plenty of punch. Detailing is handled well, although dynamically this Atacama lacks subtlety, while tonally it's too hard and bright.
With Atacama's excellent track record and looks as good as these, that's something of a shame.
