Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Everything but classical. Tons of pop, electronica, and jazz
System Goals/Comments:	Immediate, dynamic wall of sound with a good soundstage. I love having the music energize the room. My office is my listening room, so I listen in a nearfield set-up. The Strada2s are sonically to my liking. The Rel 218, while good, is probably a limiting factor but it's the only sub that would fit in this space. The J2 is more than adequate. Using an SPL meter I can approach 100db when I've got it cranked and that's more than loud enough.
System Strengths:	Generally happy. Always looking to enhance the attributes I enjoy.
System Weaknesses:	Nothing major. The sub's placement is probably the weak point right now.
Video/HT System: None
