System Goals/Comments: This was downgraded to one system in one room

Comments on HT System: second system is in my sleeping bedroom; 14 X 12 X 8, has good bed. Ht is not close to theater experience as the other, it is plenty good for most movies, and music in stereo is quite good for smaller room.
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: Retired attorney, investor
Not much else, dine out, go for walks, visit friends, look on the net forums, and mainly listen to music, or watch movies, especially in winter.
