Room Comments/Treatments:	None. Planning to get a room just for my hi-fi - its someway off yet.
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Anything apart from rap/dance music. Mostly into jazz/classical.
System Goals/Comments:	Eventually get to a high-end vinyl/valve system which'll keep the upgrade bug away!
System Strengths:	PRAT. I love this current set-up. It allows me to enjoy music rather than the hi-fi playing it.
System Weaknesses:	soundstage - I suspect this is largly due to my speakers.

Comments on HT System:	Not that fussed over it really. It more than does the job for when I want to watch a movie/tv. I haven't bought into the multi-channel music culture yet. Generally, instruments on stage coming out from the rear speaker tends to annoy me. :-(
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation:	Sci-Fi (really into Farscape at the moment :-) ); Badminton; Swimming; Cooking.
