| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Enjoy most music types, but Alternative, and Country to a lesser degree, and almost no Rap, & Disco. |
| System Goals/Comments: | Want to eventually get a true preamp (not integrated), slowing get into Modifications, but aprehensive while equipment is under warranty. Starting on old "cycled out compontents". Would also like to have a separate room and systems for Home Theatre vs. Audio, but need a bigger house first. |
| System Strengths: | Love the RTS-11, and the Power Amp. Satisfied with the other speakers. I can live with the Receiver serving as the pre-amp (for now.) |
| System Weaknesses: | The CD Changers are fine for casual listening, but the system could benefit from the addition of a higher quality single Disc player fo serious listening. The room is the Biggest weakness - There are only three actual walls, and the rear wall is mostly double sliding wooden doors. There is no left wall, it's just a curtain. additionally Front speakers are not Magnetically shielded, so positioning is difficult with the big T.V. |
