| System Goals/Comments: | Preamp and amp upgrade. Would like to try tube preamp and take the Stratos to Extreme mono blocks |
| System Strengths: | I have been building this system over the years because I wanted a audio system I never had or could afford. I have always enjoyed good sounding music and I feel this system does a pretty fair job of doing that. It will always be an evolving system living with what I have and making changes as money allows. I purchased the Martin Logan Request speaker because I fell in love with the sound. The speakers deliver a sound that you need to hear to be believed. Simply stunning. This is a music system, in my opinion; you can sit and listen to for hours on end. All you need to do is find the vinyl, put it on, sit back, and enjoy every detailed note. Right now it sound great but as with all thing it can be improved and I will continue my quest
