System Strengths:	Hagerman Trumpet, Rogue 99 are probably the two strongest components. Closely followed by the Rogue amps and the Sota Sapphire. The speakers are smooth and listenable, but...
System Weaknesses:	I think I'm about ready for a higher resolution, more highly efficient set of loudspeakers. I also dream about SET amps, like the Cary 805C. I have a sub, so shouldn't be a problem
