Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections): Mostly progressive rock and symphonic rock like for example: Dream Theater, Marrilion, the Gathering, Porcupine tree, the Flower Kings, Ayeron, Spock's beard.
System Goals/Comments: I concentrate my efforts on tonal balance and imaging. I don't find the extreme ends of the spectrum very important, and i don't play at extremely loud volumes.
At the moment i'm concentrating on room acoustics to defeat LF smearing.
System Strengths: Imaging is fairly good. Sort of flat response from 35Hz-20KHz.
System Weaknesses: Cannot play loudly without sounding harsh. Listening position must be picked very carefully.
I use a quite extreme EQ to counter room effects.
Video/HT System: Separate

Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers: Yamaha RX-v1400
My stereo system is used for fronts in HT setup

Sources (DVD/VCR): Philips VR830 HiFi stereo VCR
Pioneer DV-565A-S DVD player
Comments on HT System: I'm not really a surround sound fanatic, but i do like the dynamic movie soundtracks. And while watching movies, i'm less troubled by the complaints i normally have about my system.
