|
| Music Preferences and Comments:
|
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Jazz, Classical
|
| System Goals/Comments: | Better pair of Magnepans is about all I wish to make the system better.
|
| System Strengths: | Wonderful midrange and very deep bass.
|
| System Weaknesses: | Inarticulate soundstage, not enough top end. I used to have Maggie 20's, so I really have been trying to come up with something close to THAT sound without having to spend a fortune again. I know, I know, find some used 3.6's...
|
| Video/HT System:
Integrated
|
| TV/Projector: | Mitsubishi 36 inch recalibrated in 2001 to eliminate overscan and improve color and gray scales. It looks like a Pro set, people cannot believe it is not six years old when they come over, and I mean serious home theater people, not the in-laws.
|
| Sources (DVD/VCR): | Denon DVD, Pioneer Pro Laserdisc.
|
| Comments on HT System: | Watch film with 2 channel only. I prefer it to any type of surround, and I'm still saddened that DVD's 2 channel sound after several years now is not as dynamic or exciting as laserdisc's was.
