Music Used (Genre/Selections):	musical omnivore
System Goals/Comments:	Highly musical and able to competently handle all genres of music without taking out a 2nd mortgage.
System Strengths:	Great sound for the money (less than $5K). I've got the system at a good cost/benefit point. System isn't music genre specific: it handles jazz to rock to rap to female vocals to classicial well.
System Weaknesses:	Terrible room (basically a 2000 sq ft open floor with lots of glass) means not much bass and tons of reflection (I'm currently doing a nearfield setup to alleviate the latter). Also, I need a better shelf.
