|
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | 60's,70's and 80's rock, Some metal, Oldies, but as of late (the last 6 years or so) Old Classic Jazz has been it for me along with Vocals, and Classical music. I also dig all kinds of Mexican music, Afo-Cuban rhythms etc.
|
| System Goals/Comments: | To stop trying to improve the sound. I've been fortunate enough to live a couple of miles away from Jeff's Sound Values, I've purchased most of my equipment from him so he's allowed me to try different speakers that come his way, they are a GREAT bunch of guys, and no I don't work for them. I've tried Spendor 3/1's which have the purest midrange I've ever heard,unfortunately my room is too big for these I may purchase them for a second room. I've tried Audio Physic Virgos, they just didn't sound right in my set up, and I'm in the process of bringing home some Spendor S 100's. So far my Klipsch have out done them all.

| System Strengths: | System synergy, Dynamics, imaging, truth of timbre, soundstage... Absolutely AWESOME.
|
| System Weaknesses: | lowest octave, and my wife not going along with the idea of putting the speakers farther away from the back wall. They are currently about 4 ft. away from this wall.
