Music Preferences and Comments: | |
Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Eclectic, mostly 'popular', King Crimson, The Eagles, Miles Davis, Fila Brazillia, Dolly Parton, Gene Clark etc. I really like good singers in any genre. Mahler & other orchestral does get a listen now & then, as well as some big bands. |
System Goals/Comments: | Primary Goal: Not to limit my taste. Enough power to deliver Dream Theater, enough delicacy to enjoy Rickie Lee Jones. |
System Strengths: | Forceful, transparent, versatile. Relatively unfatigueing. I like music a lot, it's on when I'm home. |
System Weaknesses: | Cool to cold. Mumbly midbass on some discs. Room treatment would probably improve. I've heard these speakers sound crisper & more controlled in other rooms. Imaging less than perfect, not as dynamic in the highs as I'd like. |

Sources (DVD/VCR): | Panasonic DVD player, PC. |
Comments on HT System: | Stereo is fine, room does not encourage more speakers. |
