System Goals/Comments:	For System Strengths and Weaknesses, see the corresponding sections below.
System Strengths:	Fast and Dynamic, Bass Extension, Slam, and Energy, Midrange is focused, fluid and insightful, Treble Extension is airy, extended, but not bright or strident. Soundstaging has depth and realism. Cost effective for system scope and execution.
System Weaknesses:	Components are from newer upstart manufacturers, and that means that system may lack the "snob appeal" that you expect to get from a system that is made up from components from established manufacturers.
Video/HT System: None
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation:	I am a Computer Support Specialist by trade. I am also a home business owner. My hobbies include watching movies, listening to music (which is why I have the systems that are listed above), surfing the internet, reading, Washington Redskins Football, Los Angeles Lakers Basketball, and hanging out with family and friends.
