Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections): Jazz, string quartet, world, guitar-centric rock (Hendrix, Cream, Allman Bros, Mahavishnu Orchestra), Goose, Dead, Dead and Co
System Goals/Comments: I like to use the Cary 300SEI with the Spendor S8e's along with the Cary CDP 303/300 best. Very musical and resolving, but not the best combo for rock.
System Strengths: I use a MacBook to stream music to the DX-7S and Air Motiv speakers. Requires at least 1 glass of wine to overlook low bass and ribbon tweeter harshness.
System Weaknesses: Depends on the component mix. None of my speakers provide high levels of lowest octave bass.
Video/HT System: None
