Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	So many and so diverse... but to name a few... Chopin, Radiohead, The National, Brandi Carlile, early Coldplay, and Tom Waits.
System Goals/Comments:	Integration and harmony and fluency and warmth which is hard to find.
System Strengths:	Sound is better than average but needs improvement.
System Weaknesses:	YBA reveals the best and worst of what is in the chain. I guess my comment would be that the Unity Audio speakers can't handle the forwardness and finese of the YBA.
