| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Rock, some classical, jazz/blues, acoustic, folk, alternative, and more |
| System Goals/Comments: | Considering a very modest budget, my goal is to get the best possible sound. Genres of music dictate my goals. With rock music, I believe a home system can/should sound better than live. With classical, you hope it can approach the real thing. |
| System Strengths: | Very clean, articulate, accurate and engaging sound. Very lifelike. |
| System Weaknesses: | I don't have the lowest octave yet. Speaker placement will continue, but room placement is difficult. |
| Video/HT System: Separate | |
| TV/Projector: | Panasonic. Upgrade will be to a 55"+ HDTV |
| Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers: | Onkyo 575x receiver. May upgrade to NAD, Rotel or Denon receiver. May also go separates too. |
| Speakers (Center, Surrounds, Sub): | JBL HLS 610s, S Center, PB Sub. All will be replaced in 1-2 years. |
| Sources (DVD/VCR): | Sony DVD. Will go progressive when I get an HDTV. |
| Comments on HT System: | Adequate. Screen size is the most limiting factor. Sound can be pretty good at times on DVD. Digital cable sound leaves much to be desired. |
| Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: | My kids, home customizing, tennis, travel, art, reading. |
