Room Comments/Treatments:	None - Just moved into an A-Frame home with tall ceilings and hardwood floors, area rugs and large windows. System sounds great.
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Classical mostly with jazz and some rock. I'm a child of the 60's and 70's so I can get into almost any music, bluegrass to alternate. Most recent albums purchased - Dvorak's New World and Bruce Springsteen's Darkness OTEOT
System Goals/Comments:	True to life sound reproduction, with beautiful overtones and little distortion.
System Strengths:	Great sound with little investment cost.
System Weaknesses:	Many - Lets just say it's a work in process. Lots of weak links, but to my ears, sounds great.
Video/HT System: None
