System Goals/Comments: Probably Best I'll ever have -- Next upgrade would be too costly. System allows me to pick individual notes on Bass/guitar playing or any instruent in background stage. Excellent Midrange/Bass dynamics. AVA 350EX with latest R-5 mod has gone from Warm soft high freq. to brighter. Huge improvement all around, specially now with latest IC green cable!
System Strengths: Warm mid vocals, some Bass definition (Clone 2.5), sparkly highs

Forward mid vocal, fast tight bass (mini monitors), sparkly highs, excellent soundstage with + deep sub bass REL integration

System Weaknesses: Ultimate extension and air is lacking perhaps SACD will help with that
Video/HT System: Separate
TV/Projector: Sony 43 inch analog 4:3 RPTV with crappy Brighthouse Cable signal (...still excellent what this Sony can do!)
