System Goals/Comments:	Stop upgrading and enjoy the music!
System Strengths:	System is beautiful sounding at low to moderate listening levels - Now have a hi end integrated & source that taught me the importance of the electronics vs speakers. Neuance platforms rounded out the system very nicely
System Weaknesses:	Forced into corner placement of speakers (kiddy korner in one corner, either side of large armoir)Room may be a bit 'lively'. I don't have a permanent listening chair location - always fussing with positioning!
