| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Over 1000 classical CD's, almost every major work from every major composer, as well as a lot of fairly obscure classical music. For modern music, I listen to a lot of female vocals/jazz, rock, trip hop, some hip hop, a very little country, some pop. Only about 150 modern music Cd's, though. |
| System Goals/Comments: | super extended and detailed non-fatiguing highs. Detailed and slightly warm sounding mids. Holographic imaging. Powerful and percussive bass, but with good tonal variation. Primary goal - good sound in a "real world" room |
