Room Comments/Treatments:	HT area is about 15x12. Kind of a bright sounding room with large windows, but curtains make it possible to dampen a bit.
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Different kinds of alt-rock type stuff...mostly punk, garage...some classic rock.
System Goals/Comments:	Wanted a good system for home theater that would sound great for music as well.
System Strengths:	Sounds very good overall for the money I spent...got most of the stuff on discount. It has a nice full sound, especially since our room is small.
System Weaknesses:	Not too many that are that noticeable at this point. Will possibly upgrade the center to one of Paradigm's newer models in the future, or add a power amplifier...though I don't think either would be necessary at this point.
Video/HT System: Integrated
TV/Projector:	Pioneer Kuro 5020 plasma. Awesome picture.
Other HT Gear:	Nintendo Wii.
Comments on HT System:	Very happy at this point. I started out with Bose and have graduated to Paradigm. Can't imagine any serious upgrades in the near future.
