System Goals/Comments: I am currently missing space to place a vintage B&O Reel-to-Reel I own and the purchasing of a turntable.
System Strengths: By far the most dynamic system I've listened to when comparing to other students.
System Weaknesses: No room for any serious compenent add-ons. Digital sources are not up to par with some music selections.
