System Strengths:	NxTremes are open baffle speakers done right. Transparent, detailed with a huge soundstage. OB subwoofers ((6) 12" drivers)) are Open Baffle Servo Controlled. The D-Sonic Amps are my day-to-day amps with 1500 watts into 8 ohms of dynamic slam. LA4 preamplifier is transparent with the best volume control I have ever used.
System Weaknesses:	Need to upgrade a few cables as $$ permits. Need to add power conditioning so listening during the day sounds as good as late at night. Replace a handful of stock power cables. Play more with room conditioning.
Video/HT System: None
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation:	I ran Clinical Engineering departments in large hospitals for over 40 years. I have been making furniture and cabinetry as a hobby for around 25 years; I am retired since 2017 and loving it.
