Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Baroque
System Goals/Comments:	Looking for decent computer sound for occasional music, Youtube video, and streaming video
System Strengths:	Amazing bass for small woofers; this may be due to the 24" listening distance. Imaging characteristic is a lot like you get with headphones because the speakers are positioned directly to my left and right.
System Weaknesses:	Good imaging requires exact centering of my head between the speakers. Getting a bit of hum from the VM 1448. It's only audible because of the very short listening distance. Computer fan noise tends to dominate.
Video/HT System: None
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation:	Deer and hog hunting; benchrest shooting ( this explains why the Stereophile CD 2 indicates I have little hearing above 16 kHz, I'm fine up to 10 kHz, though)
