Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	I listen to a wide variety of music with my base style being Rock. My preferred Classical is Baroque. I like acoustic Jazz but mostly lean toward Fusion and stuff like Dave Grusin, Bob James. I like Country with my preference being traditional. I like Blues, R&B and some Reggae. I listen to almost anything if it's good.
System Goals/Comments:	I want my system to be engaging, enjoyable to listen to, while providing detail and resolution. Sometimes I think I'm set until you hear a piece of gear that changes that view, LOL

Comments on HT System:	I find using a quality preamp processor for home theater is just as beneficial to performance as in a music system. I have found using a quality subwoofer makes a surprising improvement in my surround sound presentation. I feel too many in the home theater hobby under estimate the importance of timbre matching ALL speakers.
