System Goals/Comments:	Good involving sound, with decent detail and soundstaging, without breaking the bank. Room for incremental upgrades (next up: interconnects, equip. stand).
System Strengths:	This setup cranks, especially in the small room, but the variable input on the C270 allows for full use of the volume control. Detail and dynamic even at lower volume levels.
System Weaknesses:	Image 4T do lack some very low bass. There's some noticeable coloration in the high midrange. Soundstage limited due to room layout & resultant speaker placement.
Video/HT System: None
