System Goals/Comments:	a great sounding 2nd system when I'm kicked out of my main system room or working at home.
System Strengths:	Very nice sounding & non-fatiguing. I prefer my Western Electric 300B's or vintage RCA 50 triodes for better overall sonics.
System Weaknesses:	Room could be bigger. Sonics (especially bass) can be overdone at high SPL's.
