Music Preferences and Comments: | |
Music Used (Genre/Selections): | My main preference is acoustic jazz, but I enjoy most other forms of music also, i.e. blues, rock, world, bluegrass, new age, classical. I'm not a big fan of opera and I have yet to find any rap or hip-hop that I can listen to and enjoy. With 3,000+ titles to choose from, I tell people that I have music to offend all tastes. |
System Goals/Comments: | I'm fairly pleased with my system now, although there is allways the next improvement. I wish I could afford a fully tweaked out larger room in another house. Better storage for my music collection so I can get more music |
System Strengths: | Speakers- this is where the sound comes out & MAGGIES RULE! |
System Weaknesses: | Right now I'm fairly pleased with what I have, but ask me again next week and this too might change |
